We were deeply honored to receive the Advocacy Award from the Olympia Downtown Alliance at their 28th Annual Meeting.

This recognition affirms the collective work of artists, advocates, partners, and supporters who believe that artists belong in downtown Olympia—with access to affordable, welcoming spaces to live, work, and create.

Thank you to the Olympia Downtown Alliance for your continued leadership, partnership, and commitment to celebrating the people and organizations who help make downtown Olympia vibrant, creative, and inclusive. We’re proud to stand alongside so many inspiring Downtown Champions.
