Wave Pool is a socially-engaged art center that acts as a conduit for community change through artist opportunities and support.  Pairing communities’ knowledge of their needs with artists’ sense of possibility, Wave Pool provides a structure whereby contemporary art and artists can be integral contributors to the fabric and success of our city, country, and beyond, by helping us build relationships and collective knowledge around complex issues, centering the insights and experience of those most intimately affected.

Wave Pool’s  space includes an art gallery, studios, artist residency program, wood shop, ceramics studio, and community gathering space. Wave Pool is best known for initiating and supporting artist driven social practice projects and exhibiting work that stretches beyond the gallery walls through interactive projects that proactively support neighbors. Listening deeply, and collaborating broadly, Wave Pool works with neighbors and partner organizations to tackle tough problems through asset-based development and promote visionary approaches to problem solving as artistic practice.
