It also includes Seattle Art Fair, which is a big deal in Seattle.


It is more like Jody (Paul Allen's sister who runs Vulcan now) took 
advantage of the pandemic to shut Vulcan Entertainment down.


However, it looks like they may be trying to re-form it as a charitable 
organization, Vulcan Arts & Entertainment, similar to what happened with 
EMP/MoPOP. They have a fancy new website (https://vulcanae.com) and are 
soliciting interest in memberships, donating, and volunteering.
