The Delridge Neighborhood Development Association proudly presents the 19th Annual Arts in Nature Festival at Camp Long in West Seattle August 25th and 26th.

The full schedule is here.

They are centering art, nature, and neighborhood for this 2-day must-see event, and asking artists to play with the concept of Convergence: where artist, audience, and all art disciplines intersect and interact with each other and the natural 68-acre landscape at Camp Long.

The music lineup includes:

To honor our 30th anniversary as a record label, Sub Pop Records is announcing a partnership with Alaska Airlines to bring you the first-ever, “We Cannot Believe This Is Happening, Either” Sub Pop Airplane.

The Boeing 737-800 begins service along West Coast routes today, departing this morning from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The plane has been wrapped in Sub Pop iconography from throughout the years.

Sub Pop co-president/founder Jonathan Poneman, “The jet's wrapping makes it look like a Sub Pop musician's instrument case, only in much better condition. It's definitely the sickest jet on the tarmac!”

Sub Pop and Alaska Airlines work to connect people from all walks of life around the world via music and air travel, and we are proud to partner with them as both companies share a common core value of inclusivity.
