Arts Crush is a month-long festival that connects artists and audiences with invigorating new experiences at hundreds of events across the region. Hundreds of arts organizations and innumerable artists from all over the Puget Sound have come together as a united arts community to share arts experiences with people of all kinds.

Spotlighting a different discipline each week, the festival features opportunities to participate in theatre, music, literature, dance, visual art, film and more. Arts Crush reawakens the senses by engaging people in the arts in unique ways; through hands-on participation, peeking behind the scenes, or experiencing art in unexpected places. In addition, Arts Crush extends an open invitation to sample the abundance of arts and culture in our region by adopting creative pay-what-you will or discounted fee structures for traditional arts experiences.

These organizations include City of Bellevue, Edmonds Arts Commission, Eastside Arts Coalition, Khambatta Dance, Mirror Stage Company, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Chamber Music, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Shunpike and South King County Cultural Coalition.
