Shift is a collaborative artist's studio that opened in December 2004 in the renovated Tashiro-Kaplan arts complex, an artist live/work building at 306 S. Washington in the Pioneer Square district in Seattle. Shift was established, out of necessity, as an artist-run space, with the primary goal of supporting emergent practicing Northwest area artists. Shift is made up of members who work in a range of media including drawing, painting, photography, mixed media collage, digital prints, and sculpture. Shift members focus on combining media in experimental and conceptual formats.

The members of Shift are dedicated to creating challenging and innovative work. Shift exists as a venue for artists to exhibit, develop, and advance their work, and is committed to exhibiting and celebrating art of diverse media and rigorous content. The founding members of Shift are Garth Amundson, Stephen Chalmers, Cara Jaye, Pierre Gour and Joni Papp.
