Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, we at Red Poppy Art House (RPAH) celebrate our 22nd anniversary and will produce another year-long program of in-person multidisciplinary performances, featuring music, poetry, dance, literary events, visual and performing workshops, art-exhibits, and lectures.
We will showcase the talent of 500 local and international artists, and bring more than 5000 audience members from around the Bay-Area to San Francisco’s Mission-district.
We will continue offering our free, bi-monthly Mission-Arts-Performance-Project (MAPP) and free family-art classes, while also completing the final steps of becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and will begin preparations for applying to the Legacy-Business-Registry as a long-standing, community-serving organization that contributes meaningfully to the history and identity of the Mission.
These funds are critical to sustaining our operations, deepening our impact in the community, and supporting our continued-growth.
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. Operating from a neighborhood storefront, The Poppy’s intimate performing space is ideal for listening and creating diverse art forms. 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. Finally, the Poppy serves neighborhood youth through its monthly free Family Art afternoons.
