Projects & Programs

Here are some ways that the Creative District is already hard at work preserving our rich history and building for a more creative tomorrow.

Collaborations

Anacortes is brimming with incredible collaborations, which provide limitless opportunity for our community and tourists to our lovely city. Nonprofits such as Anacortes Arts Festival, Fidalgo DanceWorks, Anacortes Community Theatre, Anacortes Music Project, and Manieri Foundation are among the Creative Collaborators. In partnership with the City of Anacortes and together with the Anacortes Chamber of Commerce, the Port of Anacortes, the Anacortes School District, the Downtown Anacortes Alliance, Skagit Tourism, and Skagit County Economic Development, the avenues for support are boundless.
