ACES // Artists of Color Expo and Symposium is BIPOC-led program produced by Shunpike that creates space for BIPOC artists to be bold and create through experimentation and community intention. ACES 2025 Summer Series and the ACES Gallery are supported by 4Culture, Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, and ArtsWA.



Shunpike envisions a community where independent artists and arts groups thrive creatively and economically, and where their work is widely valued as fundamental to the cultural, social, and economic well-being of Washington state.



Shunpike is committed to the following statement of equity. Inclusion means my voice is heard. Diversity means I am reflected and represented in the organization at every level. Equity means I am supported by systems and policies that ensure I succeed, despite historic patterns of hindered success.
