Artists Up Close interviewed Seattle artist AMAI about her upcoming exhibition and immersive event, Internal Growth: The Celebration on Friday, March 20th 2026 at Grocery Studios. Listen to the 30-minute podcast at Artists Up Close.

“This work is humanitarian,” AMAI says. “It calls the viewers—the beings—to look at themselves and their part in our society: who they are and how we’re experiencing each other. And it does that by exploring self-growth and transformation.”

AMAI adds, “The artwork is a mirror. It is also a bridge for community to tap into their inner world through a series of curated experiences led by local creatives.”
