The Art Church

The Art Church has closed. The building is now occupied by the previous property manager. The Ballard Art Church was a community arts center founded by Marianne Maksirisombat in Ballard, Seattle. After a year of hosting the community arts center in the heart of Ballard, Marianne's studio, metal shop and home, the church was also a space that held fashion shows, allowed artists to display commission free (most galleries charge 40-60% commission) and many all ages music shows. It was a space that photographers used as a studio for photo shoots, fitness classes, painting classes, movie nights, and many other atypical community events. Slated for the coming months was a self-esteem workshop and weekend long event for young girls all around Seattle.

Marianne is looking for another space to host a community arts center, please subscribe to the quarterly newsletter to recieve updates on the search! We will keep the arts alive, and find a great place to do it!
