Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Red Poppy Art House (RPAH) will present the 23rd Anniversary Season of the Mission Arts Performance Project (MAPP), a free bi-monthly multidisciplinary arts series featuring music, performance, exhibitions, site-specific installations, a small exterior-mural, and family art programs. Grant funds will support artist fees, production expenses, and administrative costs related to MAPP programming at RPAH.
Founded in 2003 by Red Poppy Art House artists, MAPP is a neighborhood-based arts initiative rooted in San Francisco’s Mission-District. Taking place on the first Saturday of every even-numbered month, MAPP activates intimate venues and public-spaces throughout the neighborhood for artistic exchange, community participation, and accessible cultural-experiences that bring together artists and audiences across disciplines and traditions.
MAPP creates space for artistic engagement with timely cultural and social themes affecting communities locally and globally.
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.
