FAQ

Seattle Open Arts Place (SOAP) is an intimate, community-centered performance and visual arts space in Seattle’s Central District. We provide an affordable, welcoming home for artists to experiment, share their work, build community, and bring new ideas to life.

Seattle Open Arts Place

We underwent not only a name change but also a physical transformation of our small theatre space; things change over time, or they remain stagnant. While we go by a different name, we want to assure you that our mission and vision are the same and, if anything, have deepened.

All kinds of things! From theater, dance, and experimental performance to readings, workshops, screenings, and visual art, SOAP makes room for artists to take creative risks and audiences to experience something unexpected. Our programming reflects the range of voices, ideas, and practices that make our arts community vibrant.

Check our website and social media for upcoming performances, events, and announcements. Joining our mailing list is also a great way to stay in the loop about what’s happening in our little bubble of Seattle. The best way to support us is to become a part of our community!

We welcome people who want to contribute to our community. Volunteer opportunities depend on our current needs and programming. Join our volunteer mailing list.
