Olympia Lamplighters

Artists have the opportunity to display and sell their art at our onsite gallery. We represented 37 artists who have collectivly sold 453 pieces. Artists have access to creating their art at the space and in doing so, build community with each other.

Sale of Space - We hosted 52 free nights for the community to utilize the space and engage and inspire each other. Individual desks were used as both office and artist creative spaces. Refreshments and a resource library are available for use by the participants while they work/play. We sponsored several nonprofit organizations who hosted 3 events at the space and meet regularly for their meetings. Four different bands utilized the back stage room for practice throughout the year. Thirteen paid music events were held at the space attended by 20 per event. Three Makers Markets Events happened in the space, and we facilitated two other downtown Makers Markets Events which created opportunities for our network of artists. Thirteen other various events were hosted by us and organized by others to include karaoke, book readings, workshops, and the community annual luminary parade event

We held figure drawing classes twice weekly. One for adults, and one that is youth friendly. Figure drawing classes were attended by 520 students. Our 8 week long fundamentals of drawing class served 24 community participants. Watercolor classes were attended 192 times and was open to the general public.
