The Seattle Office of Labor Standards (OLS) has partnered with Seattle Center and community artists to highlight the necessary work of independent contractors and app-based workers (sometimes called gig workers) as well as the protections these workers have in the City of Seattle. Who better to display the expansiveness of gig work than gig workers themselves?  
 
“Making Gigs Work” is an art installation that intends to create conversation about non-traditional workers, and what the City can do to make sure that these workers are treated fairly and that their work is valued. The art installation will run from December 2, 2023 – January 15, 2024 in the Seattle Center Armory Balcony which is open for public viewing from 7am to 8pm.  
 
This exhibition is paired with a free event calling attention to these laws. The event will be on January 13, 2024 from 3-6pm on the Seattle Center Armory Stage. The event will feature musicians, crafting, and speakers from the City of Seattle. Our goal is for the artists convey the value of this work through visual arts and music about the gig worker industry.
