Seeking Cultura

At Seeking Cultura, we are dedicated to empowering small businesses and fostering cultural exchange. Our grassroots initiative provides valuable resources to startup entrepreneurs, ensuring that vendor fees remain low to eliminate barriers for those starting their new businesses. We also offer a vendor library, renting equipment to new vendors, so they can kickstart their ventures without the burden of high equipment costs.

Seeking Cultura events are all about celebrating cultural diversity through a vibrant tapestry of experiences. Our gatherings feature small businesses, community organizations, food, live music, visual art exhibits, hands-on art activities for children, and the opportunity to build connections that last a lifetime.

**Our Values**

We deeply value community, diversity, and equality. We believe that through cross-cultural exchange, we can improve community relations and promote economic development. Seeking Cultura was founded by Jeanette & Lyz Macias, the owners of Seeking Ferments, a local fermented beverage taphouse that focuses on building and uniting communities and local businesses.

**Enriching the Community**

Our mission is to empower, enrich, and engage the community by providing arts and cultural experiences that inspire people to discover more about themselves, each other, and their local community.

**Celebrate Seattle's Cultural Diversity**

Join us in celebrating the rich cultural diversity of Seattle through our fun and free events and experiences. These gatherings create a sense of community by bringing together a diverse mix of people to socialize in a largely positive environment.

**Unveiling Stories of Small Businesses**

Every small business participating in our events has a unique story to tell. Our events encourage attendees to learn more about how and why their cultural identities shape their businesses, fostering a deeper appreciation for the diversity that makes our community thrive.
