Despite its ironic name, White Center is a colorful, diverse place that lends itself well to Photography.

We here at The White Center Blog love both the Dub-C and Photography, hence today’s Photo Friday submission by Nicole Painter, who describes herself as:

I am a 26 year old college student and aspiring/amateur artist. I grew up in a middle class home in California with my single mother, the accountant.

Four years ago my mother bought a house in White Center as a means to get an “edge on the housing market”. Her thought was that her property value would go up once “white center got cleaner”. Two years ago I moved to White Center to take over my live in my mother’s house while she traveled and lived in Europe.

Admittedly, I was a bit nervous about my surroundings at first. I was the minority, and therefore out of my element and comfort zone. After my time spent here, my ideas about White Center have changed immensely. I see beauty and charm around every corner. White Center is the heart of what Seattle means to me. With it’s colors that run vibrant and culture that reigns. open markets, laundromat time machines, rusted Chevy novas and screams of children playing in the street.

White Center’s charm is sometimes what we choose not to see.

“Dear Lovers of Art in White Center,

White Center for the Arts (WCFTA) believes that the White Center community’s rich tapestry of culture and local arts should be shared with everyone. Our work to establish a permanent home for the arts in the neighborhood is off to a great start! In the past six months we:

  • Established an after-school art program in the local Highline District Middle and High School
  • Established the Third Saturday Art Walk, exhibiting more than 25 local artists in 9 months time.
  • Are hosting Community Artists Meetings to open the lines of communication
  • Established a working relationship with local, county, and state arts organizations and continue to identify and foster new partnerships within the community to create a web of services and support for artists and youth.
  • Partnered with the YWCA at Greenbridge to showcase local artists in the lobby on a quarterly basis, and are working with Youth Media Institute and the Highline School District to implement non-violent extracurricular creative youth activities in the schools and in the White Center Downtown Business District.

But we have more work to do, and we are in urgent need of your support so that we can create the anchor of our vision and visiability, DREAM Community Gallery. We are asking for a small donation of $10.00 from 100 people, a $15.00 donation from 55 people, and 10 $100.00 donations. You will be supporting the entire White Center Cultural Community, helping to give visibility to local artists in all media, ages, and neighborhoods. A gift right now will assure that WCFTA can continue on our mission to be a catalyst for the coming together of the arts and cultural community of White Center. The time has come for a permanent home for the arts in White Center. Our current projects are:

  • DREAM, a Community Gallery sustained by an in-house Coffee House, providing un-juried exhibition space for local artists and performers, and providing a safe gathering place, and empowering activities, for youth
  • Development of our arts education programming
  • Collection of oral histories and artifacts for a permanent local history collection
  • Facilitating cross medium and cross cultural collaborations, and continuing to bring positive business to White Center through the Art Walk

We appreciate gifts of any amount, and in return WCFTA is working hard to promote art and culture in the daily life of White Center residents. We are to receive a $5,000 grant. We need more to open our Community Gallery by February 20th, the first anniversary of White Center for the Arts. We have scheduled two dance performances, a musician, and two artists for the evening of February 20th, and they are counting on your gift to help make this happen. When combined with the work of our dedicated volunteers, established, emerging, and students artists, the community as a whole will benefit from seeing our mission to bring art, and the celebration of culture and heritage to all of White Center and its neighbors, succeed.

The Rotary Club of Des Moines has announced that their Sixth Annual Poverty Bay Wine Festival will be held on Saturday, March 6th, from Noon– 7pm, and Sunday, March 7th from Noon – 5pm at the historic Landmark Event Center (formerly Landmark on the Sound) just down the road in Des Moines.

The opening night gala will be held Friday night, Mar. 5th, beginning at 7:30pm.

This festival is a must for anyone who loves wine, as well as for anyone who wants to support the work of Rotary, which supports schools and families in our community and around the world or anyone who enjoys an afternoon of good food, good wine and great music.

“The wine festival is an opportunity for wine-lovers to come taste samples from 20 Northwest wineries,” said Rotary spokesperson Catherine Carbone-Rogers. “All of the wineries typically offer two, three, or four different wines. Each winery will have wine by the bottle for sale. The festival is also a great opportunity to see the newly-restored Landmark Event Center, a unique architectural gem of the Des Moines community. Many people have driven by for years but have never had the opportunity to see the interior.”

What can participants expect while at the event? Besides the wine tasting from 20 Northwest wineries, there will also be a sampling of food from local restaurants, along with numerous musical guests throughout the festival. Here’s the preliminary lineup:

Friday, March 5 (Gala):

Saturday, March 6:

Sunday, March 7:

Double your pleasure – this year the $20 ticket price includes twice as many tasting tokens as before. For just $20, participants receive a souvenir wine glass and ten tokens, a sampling of delicious foods, and live music. What if you run out? Don’t worry, there’ll be tokens for sale at the event.

Major sponsors are Anthony’s HomePort, 98.9 KWJZ, Landmark Event Center, Fred Meyers, Powell Brothers Custom Homes, Highline Times/Des Moines News, Kent Reporter and The Waterland Blog and its sister sites.

The opening night Gala will be Friday, March 5th at 7:30pm at the Landmark Event Center. The theme is A Night in the Vineyard. A lavish buffet will be provided by Anthony’s HomePort. Tickets for the gala are $75 in advance, $85 at the door. The ticket price includes food, entertainment, and wine.

Wine Fesival tickets are priced at $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Tickets for the Wine Festival and Gala are available at Corky Cellars, located at 22511 Marine View Drive in Des Moines (206-824-9462); or online at www.dmrotary.org.

Poverty Bay Wine Festival is the major annual fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Des Moines. Lisa Meineke is the club President and Brian Snure is chair of the wine festival.

The main purpose is to raise funds for the charitable projects of the Rotary Club of Des Moines that include:

  • Financial and volunteer support of Des Moines Food Bank
  • Financial and volunteer support for Fireworks Over Des Moines on the Fourth of July annually
  • “Dictionaries by the Dozens”: Rotary provides a new children’s dictionary to every third grade student in Des Moines
  • Mini-grants of up to $1000 to schools or teachers in Des Moines for special projects
  • College scholarship of $2,500 to a Highline Community College student
  • Pacific Middle School essay contest
  • Funding for after school program at Pacific Middle school
  • Financial support to Highline Schools Foundation for Excellence, a non-profit benefiting Highline Public Schools
  • Financial support for a women’s shelter in South Africa
  • Purchase of sewing machines for women in Peru so they can generate income

“We hope to have more attendees than ever this year,” Carbone-Rogers added. “Each year, we have taken the wine festival up a notch with the number of wineries, the entertainment, and the food. The gala is classier every year, and the Landmark Event Center is an amazing venue. We also hope that people coming to the event will get interested in Rotary and join us in our work to support community causes and families,” she added.

Our friends at White Center for the Arts (WCFTA) tell us that they’re trying to develop a local Art Gallery/Coffee House that could be used as a “home” of sorts for our community’s culture and arts.

WCFTA will be celebrating its one-year anniversary on Feb. 20th, and over its short lifespan has provided monthly art walks, after-school art programs, galleries for local artists and much more.

They’re looking for donations, starting at just $10 and continuing up to whatever you can give – here’s a link to their website where you can safely and securely donate online. Some employers will even match your gift donations.

White Center’s new Dubsea Coffee is hosting a FREE, live music show this Saturday night, featuring Brandon Decker & Lets Get Lost.

Brandon Decker is a musician/singer from Arizona with a degree in Philosophy who sings about “romance, personal relationships and coming to terms with his sometimes checkered past.” His influences include Tom Waits, Portishead, Neil Young and PJ Harvey and his music has been called “gritty, soulful, acoustic rock,” and has also been dubbed “grunge folk.”

“My songs are my catharsis of everything I’ve been through, coupled with my empathy experienced from the different profound relationships I’ve had.” Decker said on his website. “In every song, I’m taking a moment and trying to work through it honestly.”

The show starts at 7pm and goes until 10pm.

Here are the details:

WHAT: Live, FREE music at Dubsea Coffee, featuring Brandon Decker and Let’s Get Lost

WHEN: Saturday, Jan. 30th from 7pm-10pm

WHERE: Dubsea Coffee, located at 9910 8th Avenue SW in the Greenbridge ‘hood.

INFO: From Dubsea’s website:

This is going to be a great music show to come and check out at Dubsea Coffee, Free !!  Live music by Brandon Decker & Lets Get Lost .
Brandon Decker “vocals, guitar,and producer ” is on his Long Days tour from Sedona, AZ. accompanied by Nanci Mcdonald ” Cello Vocals “.  The duo will be playing his narrative work on redemption with poignant lyrics and resonating vocals.  This folk rock duo is something to witness, supremely you will not be disappointed.

Lets Get Lost is a local Seattle treat, Nick Shadel & Peter Kowalczyk frequent the cafe as they are White Center boys.  If you come to the show you’ll get to experience a flood of the groups indie-pop-rock-carnival aesthetic.  Their music is cotton candy for the ears, sweeter and bolder to the core the longer it resonates in your audible system.

Come to Dubsea Coffee and listen, witness this delectable feast for your temporal lobe.  Let your internal audiometer get the
frequencies and vibrations it deserves.

VIDEO: Here are two videos we found of Brandon Decker:

Here at the White Center Blog, we pride ourselves on providing not only the most recent, relevant local News, Events, Arts, Entertainment, Photos, Videos and more – we also pride ourselves on our website’s design, feel and functionality.

As you can probably tell, on Monday (Jan. 25th), we premiered a major site re-design. This new look incorporates actual photos, colors and other artistic elements found within White Center itself (recognize any?), mostly from photos taken in the heart of White Center.

Another new feature is that, instead of forcing you to scroll down a page and read every single post, we provide short excerpts with thumbnail graphics for each story. One thing we don’t like about other “local blogs” is that they force Readers to scroll through the entirety of every single post, making the front page seemingly go on forever. And since this site is Published by former Journalists, Designers, Photographers and TV Directors, we’re all about design and ease-of-use.

Huge shout-outs to our old buddy Todd Christensen of Quesinberry & Associates for doing the logo, along with Photog/Wordpress Extraordinaire Michael Brunk for the site design/layout!

What do you think of our new look? Please take our Poll or leave a Comment below, or if you have more in-depth feedback, email us directly at editor@whitecenterblog.com.
