Raw Space
Raw Space is a performance art venue located in the heart of downtown Ellensburg. We feature all sorts of live entertainment and host various events for the community. Our sister business Bertine’s is located next door and serves great coffee and Iron Horse beer and wine. Check out our box office for upcoming performances. Raw Space is also available for community and private events, check out the rental section of our website for more details.
Ellensburg is the seat of Kittitas County, which stretches from the wine country to the Cascade Mountain Range on Seattle’s “East Side.” Ellensburg is home to Central Washington University, the Jazz in the Valley festival, the Ellensburg Film Festival, Paint Ellensburg, the WinterHop BrewFest, and the Ellensburg Rodeo – on the professional rodeo circuit since 1923.
