Make.Shift Art Space

I checked out Make. Shift during last week’s Downtown Walk and was blown away by the sheer variety of art offered here. From modern and contemporary to upcycled to textiles to photography… it’s all represented in this spot. Art Walk is a great night to go because you can meet the artists in person and hear about their work and what inspires them.

MakeShift art space is a great space very accommodating to my needs as an artist I need bottled water from the Andes Mountains delicious they deliver to me as my drenched sweat face watches the paintings thank you

Hard working awesome creative people coming together to give the community an all ages art & music venue, what’s not to like!

Every community should have a creative center like Make. Shift to support local arts and music. The space is non-​profit, all –ages, drug-​free, and Make. Shift offers practice space to bands passing through for a small fee. Make. Shift is also home to «The Magic Van» a resource for bands looking to tour the PNW who lack access to a band van.
This weekend they hosted a local craft fair where there was a button trade, multiple floors of local crafts, and I even picked up some vinyl. Additionally down in the lower level I found an alternative lending library (with zines of course) and some indie publications for sale. There was even an artisan guitar maker who took a break from his craft to talk about what he does. The whole experience was straight up cool.
I will make sure to stop back in the next time I am in Bellingham and drop a few bucks in the donation jar because creative spaces like this enrich communities and support the arts for us all.
