Upcoming Events
Campers is a group exhibition that traces a distinctly Pacific Northwest lineage of artist-run spaces and DIY exhibition making. Drawing inspiration from alternative venues such as Pipsqueak, the Basement, and improvised sites beneath freeways throughout Seattle, the exhibition considers “camping” as a model for artistic practice: temporarily inhabiting overlooked spaces, adapting to their conditions, and moving on without permanence. Presented at the Georgetown Steam Plant, Campers brings together artists from the Northwest and beyond who share this spirit of rooted, itinerant DIY.

What happens when a Black scientist returns to an abandoned salmon hatchery—and discovers the ghosts aren't quite ready to let the past go? Ghosts of the Hatchery is a dark eco-comedy about salmon, science, climate change, and haunted institutional memory. A scientist reopening an abandoned salmon hatchery finds herself caught in a Christmas Carol-style haunting, where the past refuses to stay buried.
Join us at Seattle's historic Georgetown Steam Plant for a 90-minute experience featuring a 60-minute show and interactive stations, followed by a 30-minute post-show reception.
Explore salmon art, spooky salmon things, and the strange world of the hatchery before and throughout the show, then stick around afterward for a casual reception, tabling, and continued exploration.
