Since the summer of 2024, Happy Time has published the Open Studio Newsletter, a place where people can learn about all kinds of events and opportunities in the arts in our area. Our newsletter is distinctive in the region because we:

• Are easy to contact

• Will reliably respond

• Want to include your events and art as much as we can

• Highlight high-caliber artistry

• Love to feature opportunities for artists that pay fair compensation, and are not afraid to let people know when their gigs aren’t meeting the mark

• Think interesting things happen in Seattle, but also know interesting things happen ALL OVER the region, and we want to bring people’s attention, appreciation, and dollars to the outskirts.

In 2026, the Open Studio Newsletter has evolved into a more professional publication, bringing in our first hired writer (hopefully of many), new features on amazing artists and arts experiences, and special perks for the folks who choose to become paid subscribers.

But most of it is free, and open to input and feedback, because that’s who we like to be.
