Review from Kristine H.
Seattle, WA
The Fremont Abbey is a non-profit arts centre located centrally in Seattle. They proclaim themselves to be a "vibrant community venue for people of all ages and incomes to be supported in their artistic & social development through new collaborative arts & cultural experiences"... and their proclamation is correct.
Headquartered in an older church building built in 1914, the Abbey offers some amazing programming. Their monthly calendar boasts music performances, dance, culinary arts classes, group classes, individual lessons, exhibits and multi-arts performances. One of their key focuses is sustainability and they do this through their volunteer staff, updating elements (lighting and cleaning supplies, to list two) in the building to be "greener" and requiring events to reduce their own waste! How cool is that?!
The building is accessible via a ramp on the outside of the building and there's a bathroom on both floors for those who cannot manage stairs. The cafe on the bottom floor offers a rotating menu and the staffers there have always been friendly. Parking can be tough on the weekends but you can find something in the adjacent neighbourhoods, just don't block a driveway!
If you enjoy quality entertainment, please support this local venue. I highly suggest placing yourself on their mailing list. At the Marian Call show, I was perusing last month's calendar and felt a palpable sadness that I missed Agnes Obel with a cellist. In that intimate performance space, that would have been simply gorgeous! -

I couldn't think of a more beautiful creative space in Seattle!
The Fremont Abbey is a 9000 square foot nonprofit Arts Center people can visit to learn and develop their abilities in many different art mediums. On my first visit here I saw people playing music together, dancers practicing a routine and and walked in on a vegan cooking class. It was spectacular to see so much creativity under one roof! -

The Abbey is not only a beautiful space to behold but is run by people with great heart and vision. We hosted a fundraising event at the Abbey and found the staff warm, professional and accommodating. The event was a smashing success and everyone raved about how beautiful it was.
In addition to being a great place to host an event, the Abbey is also a very family-friendly venue with many music and arts events as well as programs for youth.
Seattle is blessed to have such a fabulous and family-friendly arts center! -

The Abbey Arts Center places top notch performers in an intimate setting where you reap all the benefits! Worth checking out support local arts and community. Community events like the art walk get my kids involved in some pretty cool stuff.
Fremont's not bad for parking, plus I think they even have lots available. At first was annoyed but then realized it was probably necessary, they requested attendees of a weeknight concern to keep their voices down while leaving. They is some residential folks as neighbors, guess they do their best to balance the venue and the needs of the entire community. -

This review is about the round at Fremont on the second Tuesday of the month from 8-10pm. It's a creative ADHD dream with 3 musicians playing in rounds to breaks by various poets to the two painters painting all at the same time. Complete with backup bands and sing alongs this is one of the best places to be in Seattle on a Tuesday night, recently named the best of 2010 by Seattle Magazine (also).

I'm a neighbor so I observe them every day. No dedicated parking, only borrowed parking in the evenings, down the street. There are often people standing around outside smoking during/after concerts, and occasionally drinking in the street. Some of the concerts attract a less gentle crowd. For example, when I spoke to some people once about not drinking in my front yard, they got in my face and I nearly called the police. Beer bottles in my yard make me feel like I live on Capitol Hill, although this is a quiet Fremont neighborhood.

The Fremont Abbey is such a great resource for the community and the arts. They are gracious people with much generosity...offering a beautiful refurbished space to the community for anything from concerts to classes to benefits for other non-profits. They do a lot of education and awareness for local and global issues which I really appreciate, and try to keep an ear to the community. Check out what they have to offer, especially The Round once a month, a beautiful evening of art and music from various Seattle artists

This is a great place to host an event, especially if you are a non profit. They have their own parking lot, which is a bonus too. The staff there is awesome and really goes out of their way to help you during an event.
They also frequently have great local artists playing there. -

The Fremont Abbey is a multifaceted in what it has to offer: classes, performances, benefits, it's a wedding venue, educational outreach...It is a healthily established venue happenin' because of its progressive-minded hard workers and its community of volunteers and activists.
I have attended several events at the Abbey, among them the Round, which is an incredible enjoyment to behold such a unique collaboration, or sharing of space and time between multiple artists and musicians...Poets to provoke real life questions, artists to perform freely before their canvas, and musicians to empower a whole room with incredible sounds. When you look around during a performance, you see dolled up kiddos watching the shows with their daddies, hipsters digging a tune, couples embracing the experience. The Abbey is bona fide, no pretentious place for a performance gathering.
The building itself is well-kept and works well for the variety of events that are held there.
Though often lacking in parking space, the Abbey encourages alternative forms of transportation and not only considers its surrounding residents, it is highly supported by the community in which it resides.
Two thumbs up for the Abbey and what it has to offer to Seattle, and the Fremont community. -

The Abey is kind of an arts/community center. It's not in my neighborhood, but the Abbey has been the center of so much good stuff for me, worth traveling to get to. Incredible, tiny, safe venue. Old, hip building with quirks and character. Tons of all-ages stuff. Community arts stuff. An experimental/hip church meets upstairs (The building was a church, so a good fit). The Round (monthly concert/poetry/painting) is the most amazing event. I've been exposed to so much amazing art and new local music through this space. Good people. It could use some parking, it's true.
