With support from the California Arts Council, People in Plazas will present approximately 135 free music concerts featuring Bay Area music groups in Downtown San Francisco during FY 2022/23. Awarded CAC funds will exclusively support the fees of the participating musicians and the Artistic Director.
Our organization compensates all performers; we
intentionally present diverse music styles to our
audiences and provide performance opportunities for
songwriters and ensembles deeply rooted in the region’s
BIPOC, women’s, LGBTQ and immigrant communities.
PiP’s Artistic Director is responsible for curating,
publicizing and producing our summer concert series: he
selects the artists, programs not only established bands
but also emerging groups and traditional ethnic music
ensembles; he identifies the venues’ equipment needs
and coordinates the production’s logistics; he hires
professional sound technicians and engineers to produce
the concerts.
