With support from the California Arts Council, Coaxial sustains ongoing jobs, artists payments, and facilities costs due to income loss from ticket sales and admission from the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the pandemic 60% of our annual budget came from these earned income avenues, income we cannot justifiably anticipate for FY22/23.
Coaxial builds and activates a community of interdisciplinary and media artist through commissions, events, workshops, live performances and exhibitions. Coaxial supports a diverse community of media artists that range from interactive media to performance art by providing a facility to exhibit and explore new works.
Coaxial’s residencies, space, and technical support showcase underground artists whose works are often not exhibited in galleries as ephemeral media art is not conducive to the traditional gallery system. Coaxial provides artists space and equipment to realize works that otherwise would be out of reach, including analog video synthesizers, green screen, and a public exhibition space.
