Join Flourish and sustain a climate of risk-taking in Seattle’s dance and performance communities.

Flourish, our first major fundraising campaign, has a wildly simple premise: Seattle needs art—risky new work that is made here. And while resources for making art are dwindling, Base is uniquely excelling at nurturing a diversity of creative projects and voices. To keep up with local, regional and national demand, Flourish will generate $300,000 over three years to support three areas of growth: more artist residencies, a more robust staff and new programs.
