Calling All University Place Creatives!

UP for Arts is building a free Creative Directory to highlight every artist and creative business in University Place — painters, photographers, musicians, writers, culinary artists, makers, performers, and more.

This directory will help:

✨ Residents find local artists

✨ Creatives connect and collaborate

✨ Schools, events & businesses discover local talent

✨ Strengthen our city’s growing arts community

It’s free to be listed, and donations are welcome to help support this nonprofit project.

If you’re a local artist or know one, sign up at: https://www.upforart.org/creative-directory

Let’s shine a light on the creativity in our city!
