Third Stone

Third Stone exists to foster an inclusive, energized, and sustainable arts economy in the Pacific Northwest through youth education, festival, spectacle, and community driven programming. Third Stone is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts and education organization founded in Seattle in 2022. We are the heart of Bumbershoot, housing the education program and the main festival event. We seek to restore trust and faith in the Bumbershoot brand by re-launching Bumbershoot as an opportunity to re-engage and highlight our regional arts and culture community with the core festival event on Labor Day weekend. Third Stone will elevate and transform Bumbershoot via our Four Pillars: Education, Community, Art, and Access, while continuing to honor the essential characteristics of the Bumbershoot legacy.
