We are based in Seattle, WA.
Organized by a handful of volunteers and registered as a not-for-profit organization, Space.City is an independent architectural group.
Our focus and purpose is to inspirit a dialogue among architects, artists, and others involved in the culture of our city.
As an information hub for Seattle's architectural community and to keep our community active, Space.City maintains an email list to communicate local arts and architecture events. By this network we support Seattle's other architectural groups and design organizations -- A:BC (Action Better City), AIA and AIGA, Cornish, DocoMomo, Henry Gallery and other museums, Suyama Space and other alternative galleries, Seattle Architecture Foundation, and UW School of Architecture. We welcome new members and encourage involvement. Subscription is free. Join us.
