Z Nation at the Northwest Museum



This summer, the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture becomes a working television production studio and a celebration of the dozens of local artists behind the hit Syfy TV series 'Z NATION.' Museum visitors will be able to watch scenes being shot for Season Four of 'Z NATION,' using the galleries as sound stages and the grounds as set locations, and learn how a real television series is made. In addition to getting a glimpse behind the scenes, visitors will also learn more about the local crew members that have taken their passion and talent for art and turned it into careers in filmmaking. Plus, signature props and costumes from the show, amazing special make-up effects and masks, interactive displays about the process and tools of film production, along with the history of Z Nation and zombie lore.

Z Nation is open now and runs through September 10. Visit www.northwestmuseum.org.


Z Nation Auditions at the Museum June 17 & 18

Before Season 4 can start production, 'Z Nation' needs a few good zombies. Auditions will be held at the Northwest Museum, one of the filming sites for the Spokane-based Syfy show. Zombie wannabes and individuals with a passion for acting must be 18 or older to audition.

You can complete an online form in advance of the auditions, at www.northwestmuseum.org. Auditions run Saturday, June 17 and Sunday, June 18.
