Since 1989, we have been committed to empowering our youth, promoting the work of emerging local artists, and serving as a vital resource for residents and visitors alike. Located in the heart of San Francisco – in the city’s historic Jazz Preservation District – our facility encompasses 30,000 square feet of community arts space. It includes a 203-seat theatre, an art gallery, several unique meeting spaces, dance studios, a recording studio, a multi-use space and a large parking lot. In 2009, hundreds of community members and leaders joined us to celebrate the completion of a $1.5 million renovation of our facility.

You can learn more about upcoming world-class gallery shows and theater performances, exciting classes for youth and adults and the different ways you can support us.
