Community Engagement Around Puget Sound
Rainbow City Performing Arts is community of musicians with growing connections deep within the Seattle area. We place a strong emphasis on community engagement with other marginalized communities especially LGBTQIA+ and allied organizations.
In our last season, we provided over $10,000 in support of local nonprofits through direct fundraising or free performances to support their events.
Community Partner Fundraisers
We regularly hold fundraisers at our events to support the work of a local charity that aligns with our mission.
Lambert House
Lambert House is a safe place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth ages 10-22. Their calendar is packed with fun activities, support groups, planning meetings, dances, and other events. Lambert House is where LGBTQ youth make life better for each other.
STANCE
Their mission is to provide a vocal space free of gendered expectations, by and for Transgender and Nonbinary singers, to explore and express ourselves through music. By building a community of trans and nonbinary singers, we aim to foster an environment where changing voices are authentically embraced. Our vision is an inclusive and accessible singing community where intersecting identities are centered at all levels of the organization. Through our music, both singers and audiences are encouraged to find embodiment and connect to our full selves, physical and emotional.
Community Performance Donations
Our ensembles regularly perform at no charge to support other local nonprofits, especially local Pride events.
Alki Beach Pride
Stacy and Jolie Bass-Walden started with a simple idea: to gather with their LGBTQ+ friends, those looking for something to do in celebration of Pride other than the local club scene, and do it around a bonfire each year. Through these gatherings at the beach, a reputation had blossomed for hosting wonderful, fun-filled celebrations intended for people to connect. People began asking if Stacy and Jolie had considered doing something bigger, so in 2014, Alki Beach Pride was officially created in order to build new ways to better connect and strengthen our community in West Seattle.
Performance Partners
We share our performances with diverse local artists to support their existence and broaden our mutual visibility to our audiences.

Pride Foundation
Pride Foundation was founded in 1985, in the midst of the HIV & AIDS crisis, by a small but courageous group of people who came together to create a source of light and hope during a period of profound darkness. Their work is grounded in the simple, yet revolutionary belief every person should be able to live safely, openly, and genuinely in all the places we call home. This is the same belief that has guided their visionary leaders for more than three decades.
Sponsors
We appreciate our financial sponsors and supporters for helping us extend our mission and give opportunities to our members.
Rough & Tumble Pub
Eighteen screens and space for 160 of your closest friends. We like to think of it as the most intimate stadium experience Seattle has to offer: cold beer within reach, a full menu that knows both classic and hometeam favorites, and a stunning space that’s anything but the cheap seats.
Located in the historic Henry Whyte building, Rough & Tumble’s inaugural home is one of storied history. With hand-hewn beams, high ceilings and industrial windows that open to the water, the pub retains the feel of the site’s original sawmill. We’re honored to carry forward the legacy of grit and gumption that shaped this place, adding women’s sports to the roster of ways the region has always pushed for better.
