About DECAY
DECAY is a community arts and technology space in Olympia, Washington, founded in October 2024 to support local artists, technologists, and organizers. We provide an accessible venue for performances, workshops, exhibitions, and experimental programming that connects creative practice with STEM learning. By offering affordable infrastructure and collaborative resources, DECAY complements Olympia's existing arts ecosystem and lowers barriers to participation. As a Washington State–certified nonprofit transitioning to independent 501(c)(3) status, we operate as a safer space grounded in harm reduction, accessibility, sustainability, and community care.
- Support local artists
- We offer a platform for local talent, focusing on the work of artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines.
- Engage the community
- Our goal is to create personal connections and provide a supportive space for small gatherings, creative projects, and shared learning experiences.
- Promote inclusivity
- DECAY is committed to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued. We expect participants in the space to follow our Safer Space policy.
- Encourage creative exploration
- We offer programs and resources to inspire and support artistic expression in all its forms.
- Sustainability
- As a triple bottom line business, we prioritize social, environmental, and economic sustainability in all our operations.
Founded by a group of passionate artists and community organizers, DECAY was born out of a desire to create a space that truly belongs to the community. We now have our dedicated space at 402 Washington St NE in downtown Olympia, where we host weekly gatherings, workshops, and performances. Our journey is fueled by the support and enthusiasm of our community, and we look forward to growing together.
