Make.Shift Youth Cohort Presents The Hobby / Seraphic / Xenopus
Thanks to the Whatcom Community Foundation and the Chuckanut Health Foundation, Make.Shift is proud to present the first ever Make.Shift Youth Cohort Concert!
This free event was put together by an incredible group of kids, working every week throughout this summer to learn how to build a concert bill, reach out to bands, create content and posters, send advances, work with city and NGO partners, come up with contingency plans, and more. They will also be working at the concert to learn more about day of event production. This FREE concert is a great chance to come see all of their hard work pay off, and to celebrate their achievements!

Make.Shift Art Space is coming to Portland Or!!! We are partnering with Friends of Noise, a Portland All-Ages event mainstay.
The Off Beat has been a dream for Friends of Noise since our founding in 2016. Back then, our goal was to create a safer space for the youth of our community to gather and be themselves while playing and hearing great music. In the years that followed, we’ve hosted hundreds of all-ages DIY concerts, started a teen sound engineering training program, and paid out thousands in stipends and artist fees. After years of saving every dollar we could, we raised enough to sign a lease for our venue!
Make.Shiftis working with Friends of Noise to bring one of our most-involved tenants’ bands to Portland! With a primarily local-to-Portland bill, our friends Sceneric take the stage with Juno Driver, IX of Swords, Saoirse Dream, and Surgery Season.
If you’re in Portland, or trying to travel this summer, this is the event for you!!! You may even see some familiar faces from Make.Shift while you’re there . . .
The witchcraft of Spider Cult is near . . . relieving medical debt alongside Devil’s Advocate and With Regards is their aim . . . will you aid them in their quest?

The Society of Photographic Education (SPE) at Western Washington University is
excited to present their third show, The Feeling of Being. With the mission of making art
education and professional practices accessible, SPE has cultivated a unique group of artists
spanning various majors, backgrounds, and experience levels which is part of what makes their
shows so special. Featuring 16 artists, pieces from the show include long-standing photographic
practices such as cyanotype printing and tin type, to contemporary methods like digital collage to
explore ideas of what “being” truly means as we navigate the human experience.
SPE takes great pride in facilitating gallery showing experiences for WWU students and
alumni. Through hosting guest speakers, workshops, and lectures, SPE provides comprehensive
education on all aspects of gallery preparation so budding artists are well prepared for this show
and any other professional gallery endeavors they embark on. With countless barriers into the art
world, SPE has been working to remove as many as possible.
With a passion for connection and supporting the arts, SPE encourages you to join them
for a celebratory reception on July 10th from 5:00pm-10:00pm. While the program provides
technical skills and knowledge, it is the community they have created that makes them stand out.
Biggest thanks to Kelly Sorbel and all of the incredible artists for making this show possible.
