What is ARCADE?
ARCADE Publishing is a 501c3 nonprofit supporting local designers, architects, civic participants, and all creative fields through community driven journalism and publication, provoking dialogue and integration around creative civic duty. We produce a bi-annual print journal and a quarterly digital magazine.
What’s the difference between the print journal and quarterly digital magazine?
Our print journal began in 1981 and is a bi-annual publication hosting nationwide dialogue on architecture and design, featuring varying writers from a wide-range of disciplines and industries. Our quarterly digital magazine is the newest publication, and is a topic magazine with a dedicated cohort of journalists published directly to our site.
How can I support ARCADE?
Many readers support ARCADE by becoming a member. Memberships directly support the designers, journalists, and contributors who make ARCADE possible and ensure that we are able to offer an accessible publication for the entire architecture, design, and arts community. Learn more about our membership offerings here.
Can I pitch an idea?
At this time we are not currently accepting cold pitches. Occasional open calls for our quarterly digital magazine and print journal are posted via Instagram and our newsletter, you can follow us here.
How can I get something featured in ARCADE?
Please email claire@arcadenw.org with any events or projects you’d like to see featured in ARCADE. If you’re an architecture firm or business, please add this email to your press lists.
What kind of content do you focus on? How has ARCADE changed over the years?
Founded in 1981 as a calendar of events and happenings, and evolving into an academic journal featuring both essayists, theory, concept exploration, and criticism, ARCADE now functions as a digital and print publication with a mission of hosting inclusive and insightful dialogue on the designed environment.
How do I get a copy of your printed material?
Limited stock of our free, bi-annual print journal can be found at ARCADE events, with additional stockists coming soon. Printed material is also mailed to our members, with a range of offerings found here.
ARCADE NW Publishing began as printed calendar events for architecture and design happenings around Seattle. Over time, it developed into the go-to magazine for criticism and exploration of topics of architecture and design from professionals and scholars working in the field. Today, ARCADE has expanded its publications to include a broader spectrum of creative communities publishing on all facets of design and cultural exploration. In 2019, ARCADE published two books by Grant Hildenbrand. These books were designed by Marquand Books, and are distributed under contract with UW Press. The further development of our independent book publishing for 2025 includes an internal quarterly print publication called Tangible, edited and curated by Leah St. Lawrence. Currently, we are developing "ARC." a digital feed, free and accessible online and through mobile, featuring topical content about architecture, design, and urban development in and around the PNW.
