Our Mission:
To engage the community by providing an all-ages space for art and music in Bellingham, Washington
Make.Shift is a maker’s space located in the heart of Bellingham’s arts district supporting artists and bands by providing 21 studios, an award-winning gallery, a live music performance space and a low-power radio station KZAX 94.9. We are an all-ages space dedicated to a policy of no drugs, no jerks, no booze.
Time or money, we need all the help we can get.
Make.Shift is more than you think.
We have 15 art studios and six band studios with 24-hour access. We also offer private rentals open the community for birthdays, meetings, workshops, film screenings and more.
Providing all-ages shows in Bellingham since 2011, we regularly feature local, regional and national acts in our awesome basement venue.
We are committed to being a part of our community. We offer partnerships and sponsorships that bring people together and create safe spaces for people to express themselves.
What's Happening
Every year, Make.Shift Gallery celebrates Kid's Art Walk in May. This year, we've partnered with Cedar Tree and Sammish Woods Montessories and asked 4th to 6th-grade students to create artistic renderings of creatures from outer space.
At 8pm on October 6th, the Make.Shift project will be holding their inaugural benefit auction to celebrate their 10th anniversary at the Whatcom Museum Lightcatcher building. Live music will be provided by J.P Falcon and Grady.
We are asking artists in the community to create original artworks using kids' drawings as inspiration. You can pick yours up at March Art Walk on 3/2/2018!
