Ben has worked with other members of the Seattle community to put together events empowering young artists.
In 2020, Ben co-created Refill, a live-stream concert in partnership with KEXP that raised over $25,000 for young artists impacted by the pandemic.
In 2022, Ben put together a week-long writing retreat on Orcas Island for emerging artists, in collaboration with fellow artist Sol and Doe Bay Resort & Spa.
