FAQs about Partnership
Partnerships help cultivate artistic experiences, land stewardship, and meaningful connections—creating opportunities for people to come together in a time when community is not just missed, but needed.
In a world that often feels uncertain, we value collaboration as a way to foster resilience, creativity, and shared purpose. We love working with artists, educators, and visionaries who want to bring something special to this place and to the people who gather here.

A Tyee Arts Partner is an artist, educator, or organization who brings their own programs, business, or creative offerings to our space. You’re looking for a place to help your work flourish—and we’re here to support that! As a partner, you independently run your own workshops and events, while we provide land and space, shared promotion, and collaborative support to help bring them to life.
Partners commit to hosting at least 3-5 events per year, allowing us to build a meaningful, ongoing relationship that benefits you, our communities, and the land itself.

Glad you asked! Both bring something special to Tyee Arts, but the commitment looks a little different. Think of partners as collaborators who are part of the Tyee ecosystem, while teachers pop in to share their magic from time to time.
Partners have their own programs and businesses and host multiple workshops or events per year. They use Tyee Arts as a space to grow their work and engage with our community long-term.
Teachers are guest facilitators who lead 1-2 workshops per year, often as a special event or one-time offering.
Curious about teaching a one-off workshop instead of a full partnership? We’d love to hear from you! Contact us and let’s explore the possibilities.

Partners work independently yet in collaboration with Tyee Arts. That means you handle your own offerings—whether that’s a class series, workshop, retreat, or land-based project—while we provide space, support, and shared promotion to help it flourish. We offer both flat-rate and revenue-sharing options for our teachers and partners, with details to be discussed based on the needs of each collaboration.

Soren Dietz; owner, winemaker
Soren discovered his passion for wine while working in hospitality on the East Coast, at high-end establishments including Huntley Taverne and Egan & Sons. That path led him to the Court of Master Sommeliers, where he earned his Level 1 certificate, and later to a position with a prestigious wine auction company that exposed him to wines from around the world.
In 2008, Soren headed West to Walla Walla, Washington, to pursue a degree in Viticulture and Enology, and found his fit in the cellar, where hands-on processing met the science he'd come to love. He went on to work harvests from the Willamette Valley to McLaren Vale, Australia, and spent years in Northern California with Paul Hobbs, La Crema, and Kunde before becoming Assistant Winemaker at Porter Bass, focused on single-vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel.
After the devastation of the 2019 fires in Sonoma, Soren turned his attention back to the Pacific Northwest and Washington State winemaking, where he now makes wine under his own label, Progressive Cellars.
Soren has now landed at our Tyee Arts property, where he offers occasional wine tastings and sales, rooted in a passion for education, and intentional pours that offer real conversation about what's in the glass.
