Special Episode - Creating community: Gabi's Olympic Cards and Comics

In this special episode, we sit down with Gabrielle Trautmann of Gabi's Olympic Cards and Comics to learn about how her shop - which she bought at 18 years old - creates community in Olympia, Washington. Gabi, whose father served in the military, holds regular events for Veterans to gather and build human connections (she even lifts the "no swearing" rule).

ArtsWA is the Washington State Arts Commission. We are a state agency, formed by the Washington State Legislature in 1961. Our mission is to nurture and support the role of the arts in the lives of all Washingtonians.

ArtsWA values diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe in diverse forms of artistic expression. The arts amplify voices across all populations. Access to arts and arts education should be available for everyone. The arts can and should address inequities, model inclusion, and teach empathy.
