Postmark Center for the Arts is a rotating gallery space located in Auburn, Washington. The building was built in 1937 and served as Auburn's first post office but since has been converted into a hub for arts and culture. The main floor is dominated by a gallery and gathering space. The original post-office vault has been transformed into an inspiring and unique art installation space, The Vault Gallery. Exhibits rotate quarterly, and focus on providing art from a variety of backgrounds and interpretations.

AIR: Auburn Artists in Residence
January 30 - April 17, 2026
An artist in residence program (AIR) can act as a catalyst for creativity. Residencies provide dedicated time, space, and resources that allow an artist to deepen their practice, take creative risks, and develop new bodies of work. Just as importantly, it fosters meaningful exchange with new communities and ideas, often shaping the artist’s perspective and practice long after the residency ends.
From 2018-2025, the City of Auburn hosted the Mary Olson Farm Artist in Residence (MOFAIR) program, offering artists the opportunity to pursue their work in, and to be inspired by, the unique and beautiful setting of Mary Olson Farm in Auburn, Washington. Whether influenced by the salmon spawning stream, the history of the farmhouse and Olson family, or the traditional weaving shed and artform, artists spent years finding inspiration for their art through this program. This exhibition features the work of three talented artists in residence from the MOFAIR program: Neely Goniodsky, Amanda Triplett, and Allyce Wood.
In 2026, the City of Auburn will begin an exciting new Artist in Residence program, inviting artists to create work and engage with the community at the Postmark Center for the Arts. This exhibition serves as a celebration of Artists in Residence past and future, and the sparks of inspiration that can be ignited between artists, their work, and the community.
