With support from CAC, KULTIVATE LABS will create 16 free storytelling workshops for 20-30 Flipinx high school students. The stories will be presented on Kultivate Labs’ Balay Kreative podcast and an event will take place at Kultivate Labs’ Kapwa Gardens celebrating the stories of Bay Area Filipinx heroes.
UNDISCOVERED SF: Our flagship program engages audiences through music, arts, and community while providing a platform for local entrepreneurs to launch new businesses. UNDISCOVERED brings 35,000 people a year to SoMA and required an investment of only $125,000 in city grants to generate over $250,000 in economic activity.
Balay Kreative: Culturally relevant artist support and professional development for Filipinx and other BIPOC artists. Balay Kreative’s re-granting program distributes grants of $2000-$5000 to Filipinx artists who present their work to SOMA Pilipinas audiences. In 2020, we regranted to 23 emerging and mid-career artists of all disciplines and backgrounds.
Kapwa Gardens: Funded by MoHCD & OEWD, Kapwa Gardens provides daily health and wellness classes, COVID testing and vaccinations, art, food and business pop-ups drawing in dozens of small businesses and thousands of customers a week.
