Here at Abbey Arts we’ve been supporting local NW artists since 2005.  While that’s mostly been in the form of live events, workshops, classes, rehearsal spaces, recordings, videos, etc. we are expanding to offer more opportunities to create, get gigs, connect with others, and build sustainable careers in the arts.

Seattle is changing, the world is changing, but if we rally together we can help this city be an even more artful and creative place for all.
