A festival of experimental sound + vision
September 11–13, 2025 • Olympia, WA
ism is a multi-day, multi-venue festival happening in Olympia, WA in September 2025. We showcase experimental music, film, and performance art. Our mission is to uplift underground and fringe creative communities through curated chaos and collaboration.
Stay tuned for lineup announcements. Events will take place across several downtown Olympia venues over 3 days. Expect late nights, surprise sets, and immersive environments.
We're taking over art spaces, clubs, and unconventional locations. A full venue map and access info will be published closer to the event.
We're currently booking musicians, filmmakers, and performance artists from the experimental edge. A full lineup will be released soon. Interested in being part of the festival? Reach out — we’d love to hear what you’re working on.
