Sunday Dinner with Dani Tirrell featuring Inye Wokoma
Central District Forum for Arts and Ideas is releasing a new event, Sunday Dinner. The purpose of Sunday dinners are to bring community together to celebrate those in our community that are helping to keep art and culture alive. We want to ensure that the voices of our people from the African Diaspora are not missing or vanishing from the history of Seattle.
Sunday Dinners will be in front of a live "studio" audience with food catered by some of Seattle's most sought after and talented Black Chefs.
