PT Artscape deepened its partnership with the Port Townsend Main Street Program, which is now acting as the organization’s 501 c-3 sponsor. The Consortium’s former sponsor, the Youth Arts Council, disbanded this year, and our new alliance with Main Street will increase PT Artscape’s presence in the business community. Main Street’s Executive Director, Mari Mullen, has applied for an “Outstanding Special Project” award from Washington’s Trade & Economic Development Dept. for Art Wave.

"The Port Townsend Main Street Program is committed to the preservation and economic vitality of the historic business districts...while maintaining our small town quality of life."

"Main Street" is a philosophy, a program and a proven comprehensive approach to commercial district revitalization created by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The revitalization process is centered in four areas: Promotion, Economic Restructuring, Design and Organization.

Main Street is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization.
