How to Use This Calendar

This page is designed to help you discover live streamed creative events from across the Northwest. Each listing includes the date, event name, a brief description, and where to watch. As the calendar grows, you will find events spanning music, dance, spoken word, visual art, and community celebrations. Check back often, because new events are added as soon as they are confirmed.

If you are an artist or organizer with a live streamed event, we invite you to submit your event details. The calendar is only as strong as the community that contributes to it. By sharing your event, you help build a richer, more inclusive resource for everyone.

Watching Live Streams on NASH

Many of the events listed on this page will be streamed directly on NASH. To watch, simply visit the event page at the scheduled time and click the play button. Some events may also be simulcast on partner platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, or the organizer’s website. Where that is the case, we include the relevant link in the event description.

All times are listed in Pacific Time unless otherwise noted. We recommend joining a few minutes early to make sure your connection is stable and your sound is working. Most streams are free to watch, though some may require registration or a suggested donation to support the artists.

Submitting Your Event

Do you have a live streamed event you would like to see listed here? We welcome submissions from artists, collectives, cultural organizations, and community groups across the Northwest. The process is simple: send us the event name, date, time, a short description, and a link to where people can watch. We review submissions regularly and will add approved events to the calendar.

Please note that this calendar focuses on live streamed creative events. If your event is in-person only, it may not be a fit for this page. However, if you are planning a hybrid event with a live stream component, we would love to hear about it.

Supporting the Artists and Organizers

Many of the events listed here are free to watch, but the artists and organizers behind them rely on community support. If you enjoy a performance, consider making a donation to the presenting organization or purchasing merchandise from the artists. Even a small contribution helps keep these creative communities thriving.

You can also support by sharing events with your networks. The more people who tune in, the more impact these events have. Follow the organizers on social media, sign up for their newsletters, and spread the word about the incredible work happening across our region.

Accessibility and Technical Notes

We strive to make this calendar as accessible as possible. If you have specific accessibility needs, such as closed captions or audio description, please check the individual event pages for details. Many organizers are working to provide these services, and we encourage you to reach out to them directly with any questions.

For the best viewing experience, use a modern web browser and a stable internet connection. If you encounter technical difficulties during a stream, try refreshing the page or switching to a different device.
