Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Last week, six Seattle cultural institutions announced Murmurations, a citywide arts collaboration that will run all summer long, with some projects continuing into the fall. Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Henry Art Gallery, On the Boards, Northwest Film Forum, Frye Art Museum, and Velocity Dance Center are organizing the venture. Together they will debut a series of exhibitions, artist talks, performances, movie screenings, and the like, all co-presented for the city as it gets back into the swing of things. While Murmurations’ events don’t necessarily hem to a particular theme, they represent a cross-disciplinary, collaborative approach to getting Seattle’s art scenes back on their feet. The name of the series, which refers to the flight pattern of starlings that move as one unit, reflects its intentions and spirit. Like starlings, the arts organizations in the city are all delicately interconnected, and they feel their collective survival depends on working together.
