Base Residency Entry Point: Stasia Coup | Artie Thomas (SEA)

  • Base 6520 5th Ave S Seattle, WA 98108 USA (map)

Stasia's Entry Point intends to grapple with one of the weightiest questions of her life: whether or not to have a child. She invites you to spend an evening quietly exploring an altar-like installation of mementos, audio recordings, and writings, culminating in an intimate live performance from the artist. Come see what gets created as Stasia is pulled between hope, grief, longing, fear, uncertainty, and the potential death of her artistic career. Masks will be required.

Curated by Parisa Ghaderi, Joseph Hernandez, and Keyes Wiley, the 2025–2026 Base Residency offers six artists—three from the Seattle area and three from beyond—two weeks of immersive creative time at Base between January and July 2026. Entry Points are a chance for artists to open their process and connect with the community. They may take the form of a showing, a conversation, a workshop, or another expression of the artist's imagination. Entry Points are opportunities to engage with the deep dives artists took during their Residency.
