About
What is ACTUALIZE?
Actualize Artist in Residency is a woman‑run and ‑funded art organization. Our mission is to foster and accelerate the careers of emerging artists by creating space and opportunities, establishing an artist alliance in downtown Seattle. Located in the Coliseum Theater, the space is being reclaimed and reimagined to accommodate 30 artist studios, two galleries, a coworking space, a tool library/tech shop, a material exchange, and a workshop/event space.
