Help Ethereal Arts Build Their Forever Home

Ethereal Arts Northwest is more than a studio—it’s a community that welcomes people from all walks of life. Over the years, Katie has built a vibrant space in Gig Harbor, WA, where people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities come together to move, create, and connect. Entire families train here, with each member finding their place on the mats or in the air. Some students have been with Ethereal Arts Northwest since grade school and are now attending college circus programs or performing professionally. Katie has even created a dedicated competition team designed to train and guide students toward making circus arts a lifelong career. Others come for fitness, friendship, or simply to try something new in a safe, inclusive space that feels like home. This shared passion for movement and creativity has made Ethereal Arts a place where people can truly be themselves.

We are losing our current rented space due to a larger business buying out our business park and have struggled to find other potential rental spaces that meet our needs. We would like to turn this challenge into an opportunity that would allow us to welcome more students and expand the ways we serve Gig Harbor. So, we’re ready to take the next leap—building a permanent home where our community can continue to grow and thrive. Alongside our aerial arts programs, we already work with a professional physical therapist to help people of all ages stay strong and healthy, and a professional photographer who captures everything from performances to portraits and promotional work for aspiring artists. With a permanent space, we could add even more opportunities for the community, including other forms of exercise, massage therapy, nutrition coaching, counseling and wellness coaching, and more—all under one roof.

This multidisciplinary hub for health, artistry, and connection would be a lasting gift to the community Katie has worked so hard to build. Your support will help us secure a permanent home for Ethereal Arts Northwest, ensuring it remains a place where art, movement, and community come together in Gig Harbor for years to come.
