About Base’s Pilot Programs:
Made possible through the community support of our Flourish campaign, our 2025-26 pilot programs, Jump / Cut: The Moving Body On Screen, and Pairings: Collaborations in Movement and Music, aim to create more space for the making and experiencing of multidisciplinary art. Arising organically from conversations with members of Seattle’s creative community, Base hopes these programmatic experiments provide compelling creative opportunities while filling a gap in the local arts landscape.

Flourish:
In 2024, Base launched —a three-year fundraising effort to support residencies, organizational capacity, and new community-facing programs. Now, as Base celebrates its 10th anniversary, we’re entering Year Two of Flourish—building on momentum as we acknowledge the realities artists face today. If you’re unable to attend this event, but would like to support Base, please consider donating to our campaign.
