Creating Space for Connection
Events designed to bring together Issaquah’s creative community | June 2024
We have this incredible number of artists and creatives here in Issaquah, and sometimes they can feel isolated. We are starting to build the networks to connect creatives so they have that networking piece — that magic that happens when you get artists in the room — and they have some technical support.
- Juliana da Cruz, City of Issaquah Economic Development Coordinator
