What we do
The Gladish, located in Pullman, Washington is open to the people of Pullman to enjoy arts, music, and cultural events together. The center provides an array of amenities to the community, including recreational, performing arts, and meeting room facilities. It also cultivates the building for community organizations, schools, youth programs and small businesses.
Mission
The Gladish enhances the quality of life for people of all ages by supporting community and arts organizations and by making available attractive, affordable spaces for education, recreation and wellness programs, the arts and cultural activities and performances, small businesses, civic meetings and special events in an historic Pullman building.
Vision
In 2020, The Gladish will be the venue of choice for education, child and family development, arts and culture, recreation, special events and small businesses in the Pullman-Moscow region. Enhancements to the facility will make it more energy efficient and visually appealing while conveying its historic status. Resources will be available to allow The Gladish to present relevant activities and programs, often with community partners, to enrich the quality of life in the community and region.
