The Carswell family is converting the structure into a museum and event space for urban art. A new date to showcase one of the music venues inside has been announced by the Apex Art and Cultural Center and the Everett Music Initiative. The update was provided courtesy of Ryan Crowther at EMI.
APEX Art and Culture Center was established after John Carswell acquired the former Everett Club Broadway, a landmark building at 1611 Everett Avenue in the heart of Everett.
Days later, Carswell declared that the Center would construct a museum to house the Dog Town Collection, the biggest collection of graffiti and urban art in the world, in addition to setting up areas for concerts, exhibitions, and other events in its multi-venue complex.
APEX and EMI announced in November that tickets were now available for the two-night Kings Hall debut performances in November 2022. However, on November 4th, a windstorm that swept over Everett and the north Puget Sound severely damaged the building’s roof, necessitating the cancellation of the November sneak-peek. The revised opening day will be February 18, 2023.
Hell’s Belles, a well-known all-female AC/DC tribute band, will play the opening night on Saturday, February 18. Hell’s Belles has been providing an all-out rock-n-roll assault and the most authentic AC/DC show you can find without going back in time to the original band’s live performances in the 1980s for more than 20 years and thousands of performances.
The Dog Town Collection, allegedly the greatest collection of graffiti and urban art in the world, is housed at the APEX Art and Culture Center and has been carefully curated over the past 20 years by John Carswell and his family.
In addition to serving as a museum presenting the Dog Town Collection, the APEX Art facility, which is housed in the historic Masonic Temple in downtown Everett at 1611 Everett Avenue, will also have several music and event spaces, the Rosella Gallery, a classy restaurant, and a cocktail bar.
