It is little surprise that the Little Red Hen returned first; it is a twanging anomaly in the neighborhood, a country bar in an indie city, a squat and aging building across the street from a new mixed-use compound that contains, among other things, a day spa, a Pure Barre studio, a PCC, and a farm-to-table restaurant. At the Hen, the special scrawled on a board is a pound of rib-eye for $19.99âwith either fries or salad. Previously its dance floor hosted boot-shod line dances nightly, the cityâs oldest honky tonk. Tonight the floor is dancerless, a vacant space given over to a few tablesâme at one, the ponytailed guy and the woman with him at another. Nearby a sheet of paper stuck to a post declares: âNo Dancing.â Around the room sit other customers, mostly lone men scattered about. A few groups in booths. A couple more guys in back, watching baseball on TV. The place smells less like a deep fryer than Iâd expect, more like cleaning products.

How the Seattle arts scene will look post-summer moving as one! 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 intention
Summer-long, citywide arts collab starts this weekend: A lot of the heavy-hitters in town the Frye Art Museum, Henry Art Gallery, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Northwest Film Forum, On the Boards, and Velocity Dance Center joined forces to present Murmurations, a series of exhibitions, performances, screenings, community conversations, artist talks, and other programs on race, place, and, of course, the problems with tropes of linear narrative and apparatuses of visual capture.
The programs that begin this weekend include a drive-in screening of five short films at On the Boards. I m particularly drawn to
No history in a room filled with people with funny names 5, a 30-minute film from Korakrit Arunanondchai and Alex Gvojic, wherein a fictional Thai painter communicates with a drone spirit named Chantri about the consequences of globalization in contemporary Thailand.
