The Odd Fellows Out is a portrait of a community, and a portrait of change. Known for years as a vibrant hub for independent arts, the historic OddFellows Building on Seattle’s Capitol Hill rapidly transformed in 2008 when rents tripled and the building was renovated to attract for-profit businesses. Interviews with former tenants illuminate the building as it once was, the impact the changes have had on their community, and concerns and hopes for the future of the arts in Seattle. At base are questions that challenge us to think about what we value in our cities: What role do the arts play in a city’s cultural landscape? How do we preserve creative spaces in a market-driven economy? How can we end the cycle of creation and displacement whereby artists and residents are priced out of the neighborhoods they call home? |
