Seattle Restored at Base Camp Studios 2

The Base Camp Studios 2 partnership with Seattle Restored was a 2025 initiative that supported 15 local artists and creative entrepreneurs to contribute to the revitalization of Downtown Seattle.

By subsidizing 50% of their rent for the first year, Seattle Restored offered affordable studio space to selected artists, allowing these creatives to grow their careers in a supportive environment. This collaboration is part of a larger effort to reinvigorate Seattle’s urban experience, playing a pivotal role in bringing new life to the city.

Through access to studio space at the historic Bergman Luggage Building in Belltown, these artists have room to create, connect with new audiences, participate in events such as the Belltown Art Walk, and engage with a vibrant, supportive arts community.

After completing their first year with support Seattle Restored, the following artists continued on to sign their own lease as resident artists at Base Camp Studios 2:
