Hugo House is a non-profit community writing center in Seattle, Washington.

About

Hugo House was founded in 1997 by Linda Jaech, Frances McCue, and Andrea Lewis. These three writers believed Seattle needed a center for local writers and readers to find a community and create new work. In 1999, Laura Hirschfield described the nonprofit organization: "Richard Hugo House is a two-year-old literary arts center in Seattle named after the Seattle-born poet and creative writing teacher Richard Hugo who wrote squarely and poignantly about people and places often overlooked."[1]

Several new programs were created at Hugo House during the 2000s by Program Director Brian McGuigan, including Cheap Wine and Poetry (in 2005)[2] Cheap Beer and Prose (in 2008),[3] and the Made at Hugo House fellowship.[4] McGuigan left Hugo House in 2014.

In 2012, Tree Swenson became the Executive Director of Hugo House.[5]

House

Hugo House first occupied a {{convert|16206|sqft|m2|adj=on}} Victorian house originally built in 1902. Previous occupants of the building included New City Theater and before that the Bonney-Watson mortuary and funeral home.

In addition to administrative offices, the House included:

  • an 88/150 theater
  • a cabaret stage and cafe
  • three multipurpose rooms
  • a conference room
  • an art gallery
  • private meeting spaces

In June 2016, the organization moved to a temporary space adjacent to the Frye Art Museum on First Hill when the original house on Capitol Hill was razed.[6][7] The property was redeveloped with a six-story mixed-use building which, starting in September 2018, serves as the permanent home for Hugo House.[8][9]

Programs

Hugo House presents a number of programs, including:

  • Hugo Writing Classes
  • Hugo Classes for Youth
  • Stage Fright Teen Open Mic
  • Hugo Works in Progress
  • Hugo Literary Series
  • Word Works: Writers on Writing
  • Writers-in-Residence
