Save the date! “Golden,” Shunpike’s annual fundraising extravaganza, is coming around again on 10.9.10.
Join us that evening at Washington Hall for an evening of drinks and performances by Shunpike arts groups. Keep an eye out for an invitation in the coming weeks!
Shunpike’s Arts Business Clinic opened in January, and more than 75 arts groups have come in since.
Shunpike’s Clinic consultation sessions are short and inexpensive — $30 for 30 minutes — because smaller arts groups and independent artists rarely have funds to devote to business growth. Sometimes they get stuck and need a trusted resource to get them back on track.
In Arts Business Clinics, Shunpike experts answer key questions -– How do I build a board of directors? What’s the best way for us to fundraise? Should my new arts business be for-profit or nonprofit? -– to help arts groups move forward.
The Arts Business Clinic is a community resource. It only exists because individual donors subsidize the cost to participants. You can help. A $30 gift gets an arts group 30 minutes closer to the next big thing.
Please make a gift today through either our online donation page or facebook cause.
We’re kicking off Spaceworks Tacoma, an initiative to bring art to empty storefronts in Tacoma.
Come join us for music, dancing, film, and of course, lots of visual art! You’ll get the chance to take a walking tour of all the Spaceworks sites.
You can also meet the members of the new Core Team of Arts Leadership Lab Tacoma, at their first ALL Out event.
Join us at the Northwest African American Museum for cocktails & some cool live jazz by Alicia Roney and Company.
We’ll be exploring the role of creativity in forming partnerships for stronger communities in addition to asking the question, “If you had $1 million to spend on the arts in your community, how would you sp…end it and what would you do?”
Presented by Lucid Live Jazz Lounge & NAAM in partnership with Shunpike Arts Leadership Lab.
Admission is free and open to the public with no cover charge!

We are thrilled to welcome Caitlin Sullivan to our staff as our new Program Coordinator. She will coordinate the efforts of our Seattle Arts Leadership Lab and support Shunpike’s other programs. As a theatre artist and the Managing Director of Shunpike Partner Artist The Satori Group, Caitlin has a keen understanding of Shunpike and our arts community, and will be an asset to our staff.
We are thrilled to announce that Shunpike has received a $20,000 award from the National Endowment for the Arts – a significant boost to our Partner Artist program, and the first NEA grant in the organization’s history.
Thank you to the NEA, and cheers to our fellow Washington state awardees in this round.
