New paths for more art in Issaquah
Cultivating conversation, connectivity and creativity
Issaquah Arts emerged organically through the work of people connected through the Issaquah Arts Commission, Issaquah Schools Foundation, and the Issaquah Creative District.
From different perspectives, each could see the need for a dedicated organization to support and revitalize Issaquah's creative economy.
We seek out underutilized and unexpected places to practice, perform and experience art
Advocacy & Alignment: The Longman Performing Arts Center at Issaquah High School
An award winning project and a tangible path to open up space for more arts in Issaquah
By booking local performances by local artists, we can help to shape this existing venue into the creative community hub it was meant to be
Performing arts groups including the Issaquah Philharmonic Orchestra, Master Chorus Eastside (formerly Issaquah Chorale), and Issaquah Dance Theater are all based in Issaquah.
These groups have been creating and performing for decades. The problem is - they’re not performing regularly in Issaquah.
Activation: The Labyrinth of Lanterns
