What a powerful, room-packing night at Colman Commons!
Last Friday, Inside officially returned with their BIPOC-centered open mic residency, and the energy in Pioneer Square was unmatched. From line-around-the-block crowds to raw, unfiltered poetry, comedy, and music—this was community in its purest form.
Huge gratitude to the entire inside team for creating such an intentional, safe space where artists can speak their truth, feel loved, and simply be themselves. As one performer shared last night: "Having spaces like this saves lives."
Colman Commons is proud to be the physical home for moments like this.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: The next inside Open Mic Night is coming up on Friday, August 28th!
Colman Commons | 811 1st Ave, Pioneer Square

Colman Commons recently hosted the SOLE Swap, an event that gathered artists and fashion lovers that seamlessly combined a clothing swap, a live styling session, and an engaging panel discussion into a single experience.
The event successfully brought together community members who actively participated in both swapping clothes and learning about fashion. People walked away with new clothes as well as practical styling tips.

Sneakers tell stories, and today, we celebrated the culture behind every pair.
The recent SOLE Story event at Colman Commons brought together a panel of community powerhouses, influencers, collectors, creatives, and lifelong sneaker enthusiasts for a conversation about the impact of sneaker culture.
From iconic releases and personal collections to the ways sneakers intersect with identity, fashion, community, and self-expression, the discussion was rich with history, perspective, and passion. Every panelist shared not only their love for the culture but also how it has shaped their personal and professional journeys.
A special thank you to our Art Director and today’s conversation moderator, Takiyah Ward as well as her guests and panelists Holiday Black, Rex Prasaa, Jordan Knox, and Brandie Henry for bringing your voices, experiences, and authentic love for sneaker culture to the conversation. And thank you to everyone who joined us, asked thoughtful questions, and helped create such an incredible afternoon.
Colman Commons is committed to creating spaces where culture is celebrated, stories are shared, and community comes together.
