Our Mission
Shunpike empowers artists through equitable access to vital expertise, opportunities, and business services.
Shunpike envisions a community where independent artists and arts groups thrive, creatively and economically, and where their work is widely valued as fundamental to the cultural, social, and economic well-being of Washington State.
Meet the Sponsored Artists
Shunpike has given us the ability to take burlesque to the next level by operating under more traditional arts fundraising structures, giving us the flexibility to create fully scripted, choreographed theatrical adaptations of literature without losing our shirts. (Except when we’re supposed to!)
Shunpike has changed our fiscal trajectory through our fundraisers and donors allowing us to produce bigger shows and attracting more festival participants.
Shunpike has enabled our company to grow and thrive. It has given us tools and knowledge that would have taken much more time and energy for us to discover on our own.
Shunpike has enabled us to pay our artists and cultural laborers easily and efficiently. Shunpike also provides invaluable support with filing our taxes annually.
Shunpike gives our organization the power to receive and manage vital funding dollars that keep our dance festival alive and thriving. 12 years and counting! Thank you, Shunpike!
Get Involved
Shunpike depends on our family of supporters to provide artists with equitable access to expertise, opportunities, and business services. With your help we can ensure that both emerging and established arts groups receive fiscal sponsorship benefits at a rate they can afford.
There are many ways to get involved and we simply could not exist without the important support from individuals like you.
Support the arts and join us in the community!
