MXR:SEA | Black and Tan Hall - Hillman City

Join us for our fifth session of MXR:SEA, a series of FREE in-person workshops and industry networking events designed to support small businesses, entrepreneurs, and those who work within Seattle's vibrant creative economy. Organized by Seattle Office of Economic Development in partnership with T.O.N.E.

Are you part of the creative economy?
Any business, professional, or entrepreneur who is involved in or adjacent to this sector is part of the creative economy. Industries like music, film, visual arts, theatre, dance, literature, journalism, nightlife, gaming, interactive tech, fashion, television, radio, photography, videography, design, culinary arts, performance arts, and many others contribute to the cross-section of this dynamic ecosystem.

What drives MXR:SEA?
Through our combined vision, MXR:SEA aims to equip creative small businesses, particularly BIPOC and WMBE organizations, with essential tools, resources, and educational opportunities to navigate lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have curated a series of six experiential workshops taking place monthly across Seattle. These workshops are designed to foster relationships, provide learning opportunities, and create memorable engagements that empower businesses, business owners, and creative entrepreneurs with new discoveries and insights.

Each workshop is inclusive, experiential, and unique. We celebrate diversity and strive to create an environment where every voice is heard and every idea is valued. The only thing missing is YOU.

So come get in the mix and engage with your creative community. MXR:SEA is the perfect opportunity to enhance your strengths, access valuable business resources, and get inspired!

Parking: Ride share recommended; limited neighborhood and street parking available.

What to expect: Business industry experts, local cultural district organizations, economic outlooks, keynote speakers, eats and drinks, live music, business resources, networking galore, and a few lucky chances to score passes to some of Seattle's favorite arts and cultural events.
