Mini Mart City Park (MMCP) is a nonprofit arts-based community gathering space and pocket park in Seattle, Washington. Built on a former brownfield site, MMCP hosts exhibitions, performances, youth programs, and community gatherings that invite curiosity, learning, and shared stewardship. Through free, year-round programming and artist-led projects, the site continues to evolve as a place shaped by creativity, collaboration, and care for both people and place.

“The Foundation’s commitment to supporting artists by funding the institutions that incubate, encourage, exhibit and critically engage their work is unwavering. Non-profit arts organizations face profound challenges due to the political, economic, social and cultural upheavals of our current moment. At the same time, and more than ever, artists need the supportive community and creative encouragement that these organizations provide.”
Joel Wachs, President
