The hub
About
A working directory, event desk, and building hub for the artists inside the old factory walls at 681 17th Ave NE.
Three buildings
Casket Arts Main
The 1890s casket factory. Five floors of open-plan studios, freight elevator, raw concrete and brick. Heart of the campus.
Carriage House
The smaller brick structure behind the main building. Intimate studios, large ground-floor event space used for community and private events.
Factory
The industrial annex. Larger floor plates, good for fabrication, ceramics, and work that needs space and ventilation.

What the hub does
- Artist directory — 143 working artists searchable by name, medium, or building. Public-facing so the neighborhood can find who's here.
- Events calendar — Art-A-Whirl®, Open Casket, open studio nights. One shared calendar artists can post to directly.
- Building announcements — Management posts maintenance notices, policy updates, and community news. Artists get them; they don't need to call the office.
- Issue reports — Maintenance requests, neighbor concerns, suggestions — submitted from any device, tracked to resolution.
Building management
