12th Avenue is the core of Capitol Hill's arts district. Northwest Film Forum, Capitol Hill Arts Center, Richard Hugo House and dozens of small arts organizations call 12th Avenue and its surrounding blocks home.

Some other arts organizations in the 12th Avenue district are:

Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences

Photographic Center NW

Retrofit Home (Gallery space inside retail store)

Seattle Men's Chorus

 In addition, 12th Avenue is experiencing an infusion of new housing, likely to make the district even more enlivening and exciting. Urban village, here we come!
