We are now accepting applications to the 2022 Build Art Space Equitably (BASE) Cohort, a year-long learning cohort exploring the intersection of commercial real estate and arts and culture.

Scared your favorite longstanding Seattle space will be shuttered? Help award it marketing & legal consultation, a commercial lease & succession planning toolkit, public recognition, a promotional video, & more. Nominate it for the Legacy Business program! https://t.co/hNcu6qu4cU

[GhostsOfSeattlePast @SeattleGhosts]

What spaces are essential to Seattle? The culturally significant, the neighborhood lynchpins. WHAT CAN WE NOT AFFORD TO LOSE? Nominations for Legacy Businesses are OFFICIALLY OPEN!!!!! (Thank you,
@Lisa_Herbold, for fighting for us.) https://t.co/hNcu6qu4cU

@TheMrsRooster @IPrintage Huzzah!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[GhostsOfSeattlePast @SeattleGhosts]

@TheMrsRooster Oh YEAH, THERE WE GO!!!! Woooo!!!!

[GhostsOfSeattlePast @SeattleGhosts]

@SybilBell @kexp @Chrispo2009 You got it! Thank you for raising candles & keeping indie venues alive. Anyone who actually cares about music knows the live scene in a city dies without them. You’re doing a huge public service. <3

All Independent Venue Week long, we've teamed up with @SeattleGhosts to honor venues that have closed their doors and remember their importance as cultural hubs. Our final installation looks at the laundry / venue Sit & Spin with @Chrispo2009: https://t.co/gKOfBTlXud #IVW19

[GhostsOfSeattlePast @SeattleGhosts]

Concerts while you do your laundry: What could be better? On the last day of our @IVW_US collab w/ @kexp, a short film we made w/ @nwfilmforum about beloved lost music venue/laundry Sit & Spin feat. @Chrispo2009: Enjoy! https://t.co/3rZDNXxfNw

@rickfriel @kexp @IVW_US So awesome. I played your self-titled album to *death.* (This is @JaimeeG, btw, tweeting for @SeattleGhosts). "I've got my heart depending on something trueeeeeeeee"

[GhostsOfSeattlePast @SeattleGhosts]

@rickfriel @kexp @IVW_US How many members of The Rockfords are in that shot? <3

@MacPherson9999 @kexp @IVW_US @FunhouseSeattle @seattlecenter Ohhhh! Yes, not every music venue also holds funerals, but that was one place that everyone came together. Wakes (and Irish Wakes) hold a very special spot in our hearts as well. Thank you for sharing!

[GhostsOfSeattlePast @SeattleGhosts]

Time for more memories of the best fallen #Seattle music venues for @IVW_US! @IPrintage remembers *all of the crazy* at the original @FunhouseSeattle (Thanks @kexp for raising the dead with us!)

[kexp @kexp]

KEXP continues our celebration of Independent Venue Week [@IVW_US] with a remembrance of the original location of @FunhouseSeattle (across the street from @seattlecenter), in partnership w/ our friends at @SeattleGhosts. Who did you see there? #IVW19 https://t.co/j9pLviSTsT
