Western States Center is launching The Forum Fellowship, a paid 7-month program for cultural venue owners, operators, and leaders across the Pacific Northwest. The fellowship supports venues that keep communities gathering and connected, offering practical political education, community-safety tools, and a venue-based project with funding support. Most sessions are virtual, with one in-person gathering at the NIVA Conference in Minneapolis (travel covered).
