Wow! Our 10th annual Electric Sky is only 4 weeks away, Thu-Sun, June 12-15! Join us for the full Creative Retreat (Thu-Sun), or just for the Art Show (Sat, 8-11pm).
https://ElectricSkyArtCamp.com/

Electric Sky is a weekend camping retreat with a pop-up makerspace, workshops and art show for artists, designers, makers, and creative technologists, near the Town of Skykomish in the Cascade Mountains. We end with an outdoor evening ART SHOW (Sat June 14th, 8-11pm) for everyone to enjoy, free to the public.

THEME: MOVIN' IT
Each year, we pick a theme and ask participants to explore that theme through collaborative projects, building up to an outdoor art show on Saturday night (June 14th). For 2025 our theme is MOVIN' IT, exploring kinetic energy as creative inspiration. Whether gears or motors, wind or water, digital animation, dance or play — movement brings art to life as materials are transformed over space and time.

WORKSHOPS (see more https://electricskyartcamp.com/workshops/)
At Electric Sky, we host workshops to help you improve your practice as an artist, designer, maker, or creative technologist. These hands-on workshops for the most part will be tied to the theme (2025: Movin’ It), and some will encourage you to add a project to our pop-up art show. Please register now to save your spot, these fill up fast. Learn about Sewable Circuits, Puppet Making, Controllable LEDS, Soldering, Pysanky Egg Decor, Making a Mobile, working with Motors, and just MOVIN IT with LEDS!

REGISTRATION
Registration for overnight camping is $50 for adults and $20 for kids. Workshops are free but you must register to save your spot as well. No registration is required for folks coming to just the art show, which is open to the public. Learn more on our website: https://ElectricSkyArtCamp.com, or email [email protected] if you have any questions.

See you in June if not before!

We're also really proud to announce In addition to the 4Culture Doors Open Facilities Grant for Sky Artworks building improvements (see our previous post), we are proud to share that Third Place Technologies (our parent 501c3) also received a three-year Sustained Support grant from 4Culture!

Over the past two years, Third Place Technologies has evolved into a tale of two cities, supporting mission-driven activities in both Skykomish, Washington and in Capitol Hill, Seattle. Through collaborative spaces, exhibitions, workshops, and events, we provide opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange, lifelong learning, and public access to innovative art at the intersections of technology, design, and civic engagement. This generous grant fuels our ability to:

🌟 Upgrade and Expand Sky Artworks: Our thriving makerspace and gallery in Skykomish offering shared resources, workshops, and exhibitions.
🌟 Host our Electric Sky Art+Tech Retreat: Our annual creative camping retreat & pop up maker lab in the Skykomish Ballpark, where artists and technologists collaborate on thematic projects.
🌟 Advance the Passable Art Makerspace: where Third Place Technologies hosts monthly pop-up art shows in Capitol Hill exploring cutting-edge mediums like AI, creative coding, and electronics during the Capitol Hill Art Walk
🌟 Plan other public & community events: Building on the success of Seattle: CityoftheFuture (2023), we’re planning another immersive arts-and-tech hackathon and art exhibition.

Again, we want to thank District 3 King County Councilmember Sarah Perry who has been extremely supportive of our endeavors in Sky Artworks, and our King County Executive Dow Constantine and the King County Council as a whole for passing legislation. This investment creates a meaningful and lasting impact for economically and geographically underserved rural areas like Northeast King County and the Upper Sky Valley, as well as historically marginalized urban communities.

Here’s to creating spaces where art, technology, and community intersect—and to a future of bold innovation! Learn more about our work at THIRD PLACE TECHNOLOGIES: https://lnkd.in/deEDWeuZ and https://ThirdPlaceTechnologies.com
