People have always turned to music for inspiration, a sense of belonging, and to identify a path forward. 2017 was a year of dramatic highs and lows, of increased activism and engagement which allowed us to see the best in each other. Your generous support created space for our community to process the fast-moving tide of events.
At KEXP, it was a year during which we strived to serve audiences both locally and globally through the power of music. In 2017, our listeners connected to one another as well as with our DJs through programming both serious and joyful.
Thanks to your contributions, in a year rich with introspection, we had opportunities to study the past in order to build the future. Even tragic losses resulted in chances to join together in celebrations of life and healing through music. Throughout 2017, music powered and inspired the KEXP community to move forward. Together.
