Base is having a moment. There's not only huger-than-ever demand for what we provide, but fast-growing national awareness of Base's commitment to address artists' needs for space and resources. Our community is expanding, and that's exciting.

We invite you to join us in celebrating our growth at Bounty, a benefit evening in support of our mission and programs. As a member of our community, you're part of what makes Base indispensable within the cultural landscape—we would love to see you on Sunday, May 19 at 5pm.

• An elevated meal prepared by culinary luminaries Brothers & Co

• Dance film made at Base and live performance by artists from our community

Why support Base?

Space is often the biggest barrier for artists to create, to invent, and to try something new. Base works to eliminate that barrier. Base is a 2,000 square foot room with a sprung floor, 20-foot-high ceilings, sound systems, natural light, kitchenette, and private bathroom.

Base serves Seattle’s dance community by addressing artists’ need for time, space and experimentation through residencies, performance opportunities and low-cost rehearsal space. In a typical year, Base will host upwards of 500 artists.

Join the movement to elevate risk and invention in dance, performance, and multidisciplinary art.
