Join the effort to strengthen our community and create opportunities for artists and creative entrepreneurs with a gift to Spaceworks Tacoma!
For 15 years Spaceworks has partnered with the City of Tacoma to harness creativity as a catalyst for economic vitality, equitable growth, and community connection. As we prepare for our 15-year anniversary and annual fundraiser, CACHET, we invite you to celebrate the artists and entrepreneurs who make our city thrive—and explore how we can deepen our collaboration to strengthen Tacoma’s future through our public-private partnership between the Chamber and the City.
Why It Matters:
Since 2010, Spaceworks has supported over 900 artists and creative entrepreneurs combined, activated 50+ vacant storefronts, and become a national model for creative placemaking. Donations ensure this work continues— directly supporting local talent.
Donations to Spaceworks, a program of the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber & Chamber Foundation, are tax-deductible in accordance with all governing laws.

“The forms and content in my work represent an ongoing fascination with the fickleness of color and its chameleon-like ability to create illusions of transparency, opacity and three-dimensional space. I aspire to share my passion for pigment and publicart as a leader, artist and art educator in the Pacific Northwest.”
