With the generous support of the City of Olympia and the invaluable assistance from Olympia Downtown Alliance, this initiative aims to further amplify the creative vibrancy of our city while providing paid opportunities for talented Olympia artists.

The Art in Storefronts program has proven to be a resounding success in showcasing local artistic talent and revitalizing vacant storefronts with captivating artworks. Recognizing the immense potential and positive impact of this initiative, the City of Olympia has reached out to Olympia Artspace Alliance to expand and enhance this program even further.
