Sixnineteen
The 619 Western Avenue building was the largest all-artist colony on the West Coast for thirty years. Originally a shipping warehouse, it was taken over by artists looking for large affordable space in 1981. Since then it blossomed into an underground cultural mecca for the independent Seattle art scene. The nooks and crannies of this aging warehouse fostered influential art careers and provided fertile ground for a new generation of dedicated creative individuals who have moved into the world with a strong sense of themselves and their art - a testament to the power of community and the freedom that raw space can provide.
