Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, as we celebrate our 20th anniversary, RPAH will produce a year-long program of in-person multidisciplinary performances, featuring music, poetry, dance, literary events, visual and performing workshops, art exhibits, and lectures. This program will showcase the talent and contributions of 500 local and international artists, and bring more than 5000 audience members from around the Bay Area to San Francisco’s Mission district.
We will sustain our FREE Bi-Monthly MAPP (Mission-Arts-Performance-Project) program and FREE family art classes, and finalize the last steps of becoming a 501(c)(3) organization. We will also apply for the “Legacy Business Registry” as a long-standing, community-serving business that significantly contributes to the history and identity of the Mission.
These funds will be critical to keeping our organization operational as we strive to regain our pre-pandemic capacity.
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. Operating from a neighborhood storefront, The Poppy’s intimate performing space is ideal for listening and creating diverse art forms. 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.
