Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts

Creative Theatre Experience, or “CTE,” is a non-profit children’s theatre education program that is the summer home for over 200 students in Olympia, Washington. We offer fun and exciting workshops in theatre, dance, art, and music, all culminating in age-appropriate stage productions at the end of our summer season. The entire CTE program and performances are held at Kenneth J. Minnaert Center on the SPSCC Campus. CTE promotes creativity, builds important life skills, cultivates confidence, and provides leadership opportunities for children and youth entering first grade through high school.

The Artists' Gallery was founded in 1980 by a group of artists with a vision to bring local art to the community directly from the artists. The gallery is an artist-focused cooperative, owned and operated by the 16 artists whose work is featured. Every other month new art is added and rotated around the gallery. You will find a large selection of unique art including fine art paintings, pottery, prints, jewelry, photography, wood and more! Come walk through this beautiful bright space, see art, and meet an artist Wednesday through Sunday on the westside of Olympia, WA.
