Night Light Drive In

Open Space has teamed up with Vashon Theatre to bring drive-in movies to Vashon this summer at the Night Light Drive In, located on the great lawn at Open Space. It is an opportunity for the community to connect while following health protocols and staying physically distant. Thanks to affordable ticket prices, it is a great way for everybody to load up the car, get out of the house, and enjoy a night at the theater. Your support helps make it possible! Click the button below to donate to the Night Light Drive In.

!ATTENTION!: Artists at Work

!Attention! Artists at Work (AAW) is a jobs program led by Open Space for Arts and Community in partnership with local nonprofit organizations. The goal of the program is to hire artists during this challenging economic time. With your support, so far Open Space has invested $40,000 and commissioned 60 Vashon artists and artisans to make free public art since Spring 2020.

  • Terrific venue for all sorts of artistic performances and experiences.  From the local non profit auction to burlesque, The Open Space always has something going on.  It's also where you'll find UMO circus school, a great place for kids and adults to explore circus skills from parkour to aerial.

  • Being in Bruce’s Black Box at the Lady Rizo preview party, I felt the love. It was lovely to be in this new space that felt dedicated to the love of art; a space lovingly brought about by a community that loves artists and the value they bring to our lives. I hope many artists fall in love with the new Open Space and I look forward to loving the imaginative work and the creative spirit they will bring to it. Taking part in this love exchange is a great way to nourish ourselves when we begin to feel overwhelmed by the challenges of the wider world. Choose art and feel the love!

  • I support Open Space because it serves EVERYONE on Vashon Island, but even more than that because it brings art to the island I might not otherwise see. Since Open Space opened its doors I’ve seen a caliber of performance the island has not produced before. What’s even better? They took a space that had been an island landmark and turned it into a magnificent art venue instead of tearing it down and building again. They found a way to work with what they discovered and I love them for it!
