About Entry Points: Entry Points are opportunities for our Resident artists to share their process. They may take the form of a showing, a conversation, or another expression of the artist's imagination. It’s an opportunity for the community to engage with the deep dives the artists undertook during their Residency and, possibly, discover a new artist or deepen their connection to an artist they support.
About the Base Residency: The Base Residency is a unique, artist-curated program offering unrestricted space, the opportunity to publicly share work, technical, marketing, and administrative support, travel and lodging for out-of-town artists, and a fee of $1,000 per residency week. The ‘25-’26 Residency Season was curated by Parisa Ghaderi, Joseph Hernandez, and Keyes Wiley. This year, the Base Residency offers six artists—three from the Seattle area and three from beyond—two weeks of immersive creative time at Base between January and July 2026. Since 2016, more than 30 artists have completed Base Residencies as the program continues to evolve and grow within a national context. Meet Base Residency Alumni .
“The Base Artist Residency was crucial to the development of RoCoCoCoCo and indeed, my continued evolution as a creative artist. Having time and space to live in the questions of my work, to listen to my body, and to be in conversation with my dancing collaborators teaches me. Base offered me enough time to let the ideas establish themselves. This generosity feels like trust - like the institution/Base trusts the artists, and this allows the artists to trust the art/themselves.”

Flourish:
In 2024, Base launched —a three-year fundraising effort to support residencies, organizational capacity, and new community-facing programs. Now, as Base celebrates its 10th anniversary, we’re entering Year Two of Flourish—building on momentum as we acknowledge the realities artists face today. If you’re unable to attend this event, but would like to support Base, please consider donating to our campaign.
Accessibility at Base:
The Factory has a ramped entrance at the north end of the building (through the orange door). The building has limited exterior lighting, making it sometimes difficult to navigate and locate when it's dark.
Once inside, Base is accessible by ramp through our front doors. Please note that Base is not a scent-free space. The Factory has two gender neutral multi-stall restrooms and two single-stall restrooms that are wheelchair accessible. Because we share a building with other studios, there is often industrial noise and heavy machinery in operation, such as forklifts.
