The Red Poppy Art House (RPAH)’s mission is to serve as a neighborhood arts center for the intersection of cultural and inter-generational artistic engagement. Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District, the Poppy is an artist-driven organization that seeks to empower and transform society by addressing current social issues that impact our community and society at large through creative processes. Red Poppy Art House’s intent is to forge a bridge between high caliber artistic work and community life through visibility and inclusiveness. Its culturally-diverse programming offers an intimate window into the rich and complex intersection of cultural traditions and contemporary trends, both locally in the Bay Area and internationally throughout the world. The Poppy exists as a true hub, facilitating relationships among cultural visionaries, institutions, communities, arts advocates and, of course, artists.
