Since 1983, the NW New Works Festival (NWNW) has been a vibrant celebration of artists from all performance disciplines, showcasing the dynamic arts community of the Pacific Northwest. This festival directly supports artists in creating and presenting new works, and developing their practices, while offering them an invaluable stage to shine.

Curated by Kemi Adeyemi (professor, writer, dramaturg), Roya Amirsoleymani (curator, writer, producer), and Fox Whitney (artist, writer, producer), the 37th NWNW will feature eight new works performed across the two stages at OtB over three days in June 2025.

The return of NWNW is made possible through generous support by the Raynier Foundation and John C. Robinson.
