The Space
In addition to our many residency and education programs for artists and youth, Jack Straw is available to the community
as a full service recording studio and audio production facility.
Studio one measures 26’ by 23’ with 13’ of loft. An amp isolation booth and 15’ by 11’ isolation room are available with this space. Studio One is ideal for acoustic music as well as high sound pressure situations. The room has accommodated choirs, big bands, chamber groups, string bands, jazz and rock bands. A well-maintained Steinway grand piano is always available in Studio One. A simple video setup is available for recordings at no additional cost (beyond extra studio time at the regular rate).
In addition to studio recording, the space is also available to be rented for rehearsals and intimate events at the standard studio rate. This includes an engineer, allowing for event recording.

The Building
Jack Straw Cultural Center is the Northwest’s only non-profit multidisciplinary audio arts center. A community-based resource since 1962, we provide a production facility that is unlike any other in the region for local artists who work creatively with sound. Jack Straw focuses on annual artist residencies through our Artist Support Program, our Writers Program, and our Gallery Residency Program; art and technology education for all ages; arts heritage partnerships; and radio production. Our full-service recording studio is also available for a range of arts projects.
The Jack Straw New Media Gallery has supported and exhibited
artists working with visual and installation art, with an emphasis on sound, since 1999. The New Media Gallery exhibits artists’ work through an open call process. As one of a handful of exclusively sound art spaces in the world, it has
attracted applicants nationally and internationally, however Jack Straw has a commitment to local artists.
We rent office space on the 2nd and 3rd floors of our building to arts organizations, creative individuals, and small businesses. Among our current residents are Floating Bridge Press, Sound Theatre Company, Entre Rios Books, KBFG FM, and UW research groups.
