With support from the California Arts Council, Circuit Network will use general operating funds to meet a portion of monthly office rent and staff compensation expense during the grant period. The pandemic continues to deeply impact Circuit’s earned revenue from tour management and production activity.
Circuit Network seeks to foster the unique and powerful voices and participation of artists who may have historically been considered outsiders in the mainstream world of performing arts presenting. In addition to providing tour booking and management services, promotional support, and a wide range of technical assistance, Circuit also has the specific goal of commissioning, producing or presenting the work of our roster artists in our home base of San Francisco. Circuit has built audiences in San Francisco for the multidisciplinary, thought-provoking work of our roster artists and affiliate artists that we’ve commissioned and presented locally. The current roster includes Culture Clash, Ruben Martinez, Dan Wolf and Felonious, playwright and clown actor Sara Toby Moore, and Pamela Z. Circuit also serves as fiscal sponsor and producer for several artists and projects, including the annual San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, composer Richard Marriott of Club Foot Orchestra, and multidisciplinary composer Guillermo Galindo.
