Tacoma-born and Seattle-based, Kelly Bjork is a queer artist whose work explores tenderness, joy, and the intimacy of everyday life. A graduate of Western Washington University, Bjork has exhibited nationally and internationally, with features in New American Paintings, The Washington Post, and McSweeney’s.

Shayla Hufana is a Filipina-American visual artist and multidisciplinary designer from Seattle.

Her work has been featured in Times Square, by Graphic Design USA, and most recently with the Seattle Kraken as their 2024–2025 Lunar New Year Jersey Artist. 

Her Pride Match piece, Fly Together, is a joyful celebration of pride and community—featuring an orca rising from the Salish Sea, a warm sun, and a rainbow stretching across the skyline, with salmon swimming through the water to symbolize strength and resilience.
