With support from the California Arts Council Red Poppy Art House will hire nonprofit arts management consultant Yesenia Sanchez to create a three-year financial plan that will include a revised organizational staff structure, with budgeting for 2019-2022. This project scope will also include finance training & coaching for Red Poppy staff.
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. Finally, the Poppy serves neighborhood youth through its monthly free Family Art afternoons.
