Trae Holiday welcomed Jazmyn Scott, Executive Director of Arte Noir, for an inspiring conversation on "The Day With Trae." Jazmyn Scott elaborated on Arte Noir's mission as a Black-owned business dedicated to supporting other Black businesses and creatives. She explained their unique model where they purchased products upfront from Black artists and makers, ensuring they received 100% of the net proceeds. Arte Noir served as a much-needed brick-and-mortar space, providing a stable platform for businesses that often relied on pop-up markets. The organization also actively curated experiences, offering free programs, events, classes, concerts, and marketplaces that brought the community together and educated new residents about the rich history and legacy of the Central District.

A major milestone for Arte Noir, and a key focus of the discussion, was their purchase of their space at Midtown Square, ensuring they could not be displaced—a significant achievement in the Central District where affordability was a challenge for many businesses. This permanent anchor allowed them to continue their vital work of cultural preservation and community building. Jazmyn expressed excitement about their continued growth and the impact they had made over the past three years.

The highlight of the episode was the announcement of Arte Noir's third-anniversary celebration, "Fade to Black," scheduled for Saturday, September 20th. That year, the event moved to the Seattle Opera Center's Tagney Hall to accommodate a larger celebration. The theme for that year was "Celebrating the Spirit of Collaboration," and Arte Noir acknowledged incredible collaborators within the community with awards. The event offered two ticket tiers: a higher level for $250, including dinner catered by Marjorie Restaurant, drinks, the main program, and an afterparty; and a $50 option that included small bites, the program, and the afterparty. Jazmyn invited everyone to attend, emphasizing that it was a fundraiser but also an accessible celebration for the entire community. Tickets could be purchased at artenoir.org
