Inclusive Creative Industry Program


Seattle’s Office of Film + Music, within the Office of Economic Development (OED), supports the heart of our city’s creative industries. With new challenges and disparities facing Seattle’s creatives, Mayor Jenny Durkan’s 2020 Proposed Budget includes investments to expand the City’s creative industry work by dedicating three fulltime employees, including one newly funded position. Two positions will be in the creative industry program in OED, and one will be in the Office of Arts & Culture, encompassing film, music, and media/graphic design. For more information about OED’s inclusive economy vision or reports from community listening sessions, sign up for the e-newsletter or email oed@ seattle.gov and arts.culture@seattle.gov.
