Café Racer Seattle is an organization that operates a live music venue and an internet radio station. We are focused on creating community around the love of music and art. We have created a “genre fluid” environment with a focal point on DIY and emerging artists from youth, LGBTQ, BIPOC, and other underserved communities. Our online radio station features music exclusively from Washington State musicians, and our music venue, located in the heart of the Capitol Hill Arts District of Seattle, provides access to live music experiences for all (including our underage population), presented by artists from our localized region and around the world.

Our mission is to have a safe space for people of all ages to come together and create, explore and share art and music of all genres in a welcoming, community setting in the heart of a Seattle neighborhood where music and art are embodied.

Your tax-deductible donations to Allied Arts Foundation will keep the Café Racer iconic art center alive and thriving. Donations will be used for the following programs:
· Enhancing our partnerships with local schools and organization to create youth-driven programming on both the ratios station and stage.
· Creating an artist/performer mentorship program, which will pair seasoned professionals (musicians, graphic artists, music producers, visual artists, audio engineers, and show producers) with developing artists in those fields.
· Furthering our partnerships and support for other nonprofit agencies, allowing the access to our space when not I use to further support youth and underserved communities in ways we do not (for example: Plant Based Food Share, Seattle).
· Upgrades to our music venue’s sound system and other key infrastructure improvements.
· Subsidizing operating expenses so that we can stay focused on serving our youth, LGBTQ, BIPOC and other community members.

All your dollars given will directly impact supporting youth and underserved communities within Seattle’s arts and music population. Café Racer is dedicated to making art, music, and community accessible to all by continuing to offer “genre fluid” programming for all ages. We support youth and others in their freedom of creativity and self-expression through music and arts by providing multiple platforms for them to present their works and we nurture and foster bridge building by utilizing our stage and online radio station to bring all ages and backgrounds together over the shared love of creativity, free expression, music, and art.
