We have a permit from the FCC to build a new hyper-local low-power FM radio station broadcasting from Magnuson Park! Thanks to grants from 4Culture and the City of Seattle, we have almost everything we need to equip the new station in time for its first broadcast in 2017.
BUT, the future studio space badly needs painting. The ceilings are high and there is duct work to deal with so we are hoping a professional painter with a sprayer will help us with this part. Some high school students generously donated 4 hours of painting and got the first coat of primer about 2/3 the way up the wall, which is a good start. We need to finish the first coat of primer, apply a second coat and then one final coat of paint.
If you have design ideas along the way about how to make the studio space inviting to the community, that's great too!

About Sand Point Arts and Cultural Exchange
Location:
7400 Sand Point Way NE, Box E-12, SEATTLE, WA 98115, US
Mission Statement
SPACE funds, facilitates and promotes arts and cultural uses of Magnuson Park for the public. We operate Magnuson Park Gallery, a public art gallery 2-3 days per week with many special events. We also operate a low-power FM radio station, SPACE 101.1.
Description
After working for nearly 20 years to make a permanent home for arts and culture in Magnuson Park (formerly a U.S. Navy base), we now have a roof over our head and are offering programming to the public.
We operate out of a public gallery in the historic west wing of Building 30 and seek funding to provide continual arts programming to the youth living in Solid Ground housing within the park. Solid Ground provides housing for people and families transitioning out of homelessness.
We also began broadcasting from our new low-power FM radio station in October 2017 and are working to leverage the many assets of the park's non-profit tenants and provide non-commerical programming by and for North Seattle's diverse communities, including arts, youth, history, science, environment, public affairs and more.
