Tonight! Film screening at GGLO Space at the Steps

On June 3rd, start your First Thursday Art Walk with a screening of the film B-Town: How Burien Came into Its Own, at 6pm at GGLO Space at the Steps at 1301 First Ave., entrance off Harbor Steps.
You’ll meet the creative people who got together to shoot a half hour documentary telling Burien’s story; have some food and drink; and we’ll invite you to help us complete the project. B-Town: How Burien Came Into Its Own answers this question: What does it take to have the health and resilience to rebound from an economic downturn by integrating art in an unfinished section of your Town Square and throwing a community party?
This is the story of a vision people had for their city and how they made it come true – how, even in hard times, they are still making it come true. Last year, Burien artists and city officials did something inspired. They created an Interim Art Space in a potential eyesore when the city center was at a standstill. That marked yet another evidence of the buoyancy and changeability of this place. Featured are artists; the Town Square developers, designers and other business people; new arrivals; old timers, and the government offi cials that help make it all happen.
