The Studios
World-class artist studios in the heart of Seattle's historic Pioneer Square
Purpose-Built for Creating Masterworks
We renovated this historic Pioneer Square building from the ground up with one goal: give artists everything they need to create the best work of their careers. 16 large private studios across two floors, abundant natural light from large skylights, professional equipment, and a community of serious painters—all designed to remove distractions and support ambitious, focused creation.
This is where Seattle Prize fellows create their masterworks. No compromises, no distractions—just the space and support to pursue something extraordinary.

Professional Setup
