Supporting our creatives during COVID-19

In times of crisis, we trust that communities come together to support those most in need. If ever there was a time to lean in and lift up your favorite neighborhood business, now is that time. For many of our Spaceworks alumni, working from home is not an option, and already we’re hearing of lost revenue from cancelled events and fewer customers.

Over the coming weeks, we will be promoting and highlighting alumni who are doing what they do best: hustling, getting creative, and using their talents to keep joy in this city. For some, this looks like an expanded online store and for others, it’s free local delivery so you don’t have to visit in person. As you are able, please support these amazing businesses and keep Tacoma’s creative economy going strong.

https://www.etctacoma.com/blog/2020/2/25/umiscorner-the-product-pt1

This untimely pandemic comes right before the release of our Spring 2020 collection and our long-awaited collaboration with recording artist Travis Thompson. Our sincerest apologies to all those who have bought tickets and are receiving correspondence of its rescheduling. However, our in-store with Travis Thompson is still happening from 11AM-1PM. From our understanding brick and mortar retailers like ourselves are being less affected by the band, but in an effort to keep your attention and because we understand incentive in the face of uncertainty, we are offering 20% off of Umi’sCorner products only throughout the weekend.
