Artist Pairs Announced for Genre Bender 2017

Genre Bender is an original event produced by City Arts that pairs up ten Seattle artists of diverse disciplines, talents, and voices and asks them to create wholly original and unique collaborations. Curated by City Arts editorial staff and Genre Bender creative director Jennifer Zeyl, the event celebrates innovation and cross-pollination in Seattle's thriving arts community. In its sixth iteration, 2017's Genre Bender promises to be as surprising as ever.

New this year, the Genre Bender performances will take place at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute in the Central District. For the first time, there will be three Genre Bender performances: March 3 and 4 at 8 p.m. and March 5 at 2 p.m.
