WEAVE believes in the power of the performing arts to dispel our inherited narrative of racial, ethnic, and gender hierarchy.

We center the voices of Women, Indigenous, Immigrant, Queer, Black, and Brown artists on our stages, and we invite audiences to acknowledge and celebrate the myriad roots of American culture.

our goal:

Year One: 1000 donors
Sustain our mission to support social and cultural diversity through the arts

Beyond: 10,000 Bainbridge households
To reach 100% community participation on Bainbridge Island

help us reach our goal

be a part of the solution:

why now?

Though we are committed to the intimacy of the WEAVE experience, selling out our small venue does not cover our costs and does not guarantee our future.

In recent times we have experienced the need for community during crisis. We understand the importance of creating spaces that are accessible and welcoming to all.

WEAVE believes...

that an artist-centered, equity-based, all-ages, community venue is both the common ground we seek and the perfect space to gather, listen, and celebrate.

WEAVE is crucial...

to building a compassionate and equitable society that understands the power of joy as a path to healing, theater as a path to reflection, and music as medicine.

WEAVE has earned...

a stellar reputation for attracting phenomenal talent and our sold-out shows testify to our relevance in this community.

Our Model Must Be Different

Traditional methods of fundraising perpetuate inequity. Season tickets, membership tiers, VIP status, and donation perks are all designed to reward only those with the most capital.

With WEAVE’s cutting edge $5+1 Campaign everyone can be a donor, everyone can make an impact, and everyone can enjoy the benefits.

with your monthly $5 donation...

you give:

you give: artists a passionate intimate audience, good sound & fair pay

you give: an all-ages venue and multicultural experiences to our Bainbridge youth

you give: the advancement of social and economic justice in your own community

you get:

you get: to enjoy world-class talent in your own backyard

you get: the chance to grow and diversify your circle of friends

what our artists say:

I can’t think of a time when I have felt more welcomed and appreciated. The level of care, attention to detail and regard for artists just blew us all away.

-Gail Pettis, jazz vocalist
Playing at Weave did not feel like a regular gig. It was a night full of beauty, creativity and connection. I could feel a special bond between musicians that night, It sparked many new ideas and inspiring improvisations. Sharing this celebration of art with all the people who came made our performance at Weave truly unforgettable!

-Elena Maque, vocalist and saxophonist
It was an incredible experience resulting in one of the most transcendental performances I have had in quite some time. I attribute the magic of the experience to the amazing team at Weave Presents. I am forever grateful!

-Johnaye Kendrick, Grammy-nominated vocalist, composer, orchestrator and multi-instrumentalist
We absolutely loved the venue, the set up, the sound, the hospitality and the enthusiasm from the audience. This was the most fun we have had in a long time.

-Alex Dugdale, musician, dancer, educator
The passion and care they take to provide a world class experience for artists while working to broaden the artistic lens of their community is something that Bainbridge should be incredibly proud of.
Please believe me when I say, not all smaller communities have this intention, let alone act on it. The world needs more places like WEAVE, not less.

-Sarah Clarke, vocalist, songwriter & community activist
It was indeed a pleasure to play to a full house and to feel at home in a venue. We look forward to returning many more times. I wish more promoters would treat the artists they hire like this.

-Jovino Santos Neto, Brazilian pianist, composer & arranger, 3x Latin Grammy nominee
