Arts commissioners plan daytime 'black-box' venue tours to inform programming

Bothell Arts Commission · June 23, 2026

Summary

Commissioners identified potential black-box theaters (12th Avenue Arts and others) and discussed daytime site visits (tentatively July 2 or August dates) to assess capacity and flexibility for performance grants and partnerships.

Commissioners discussed touring two local black-box venues to better understand capacity and technical flexibility before recommending potential collaborations or grant support. Proposed sites include 12th Avenue Arts and an Edmonds venue; Hutchinson Hall was added back to the list as another possible stop.

One commissioner said she had identified two black-box spaces and suggested daytime visits, proposing June 30–July 2 or August dates for tours. Commissioners discussed logistics including travel time (about an hour each way), van availability and staff schedules; staff said they will survey commissioner availability and send an email for signups.

The tours are intended as fact‑finding trips to capture details such as square footage, seating capacity, technical flexibility (movable or removable seating), and potential partnerships that could inform grant recommendations and downtown activation planning.
