Project Description
With support from the CAC, Red Poppy Art House will present the 20th Anniversary Season of the Mission Arts Performance Project (MAPP), a FREE-bimonthly, multidisciplinary, intercultural arts event. Funds will support artists, and administrative costs for MAPPs which includes performances, exhibitions and site-specific Installations, updating the 2nd mural on the 23rd wall and the FREE family Art program.
MAPP engages the community with arts-programs focused on current social-themes, facilitating artists and audience collaboration.
Incubated in 2003 by the Red poppy Art House, the Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP) is a homegrown bi-monthly, multidisciplinary, intercultural happening that takes place in the Mission-District of San-Francisco. Started at RPAH and expanded to the neighborhood, on the first Saturday of every even-month, the MAPP transforms ordinary spaces into pop-up performance/exhibition sites for an intimate-scale artistic and cultural exchange.
Organization Summary
Red Poppy Art House produces more than 150 multi-disciplinary events each year including music, poetry, dance, literary events, art exhibitions, workshops and lectures that showcase the talent of local and far-flung artists. The Poppy is known locally, nationally and internationally as a venue that welcomes artists from all backgrounds to share the music of their culture, allowing the changes and fusion that naturally comes from performing in the diversity of San Francisco.

In addition to its performing program, The Poppy serves emerging arts professionals through its Professional Development Track, which provides training in community arts presentation through workshops and internships.
