Rogue Cinema: a revived mobile cinema and printed matter zine library and reading room, housed in a vintage bus, popping up at various locations around the Bay.
Stories That Make Us: In collaboration with Creative Culture Club & filmmaker Yasmin Mawaz-Khan, we surface clips of indie films about the rise and fall of creative movements, and speak to the film creators in an intimate, salon-type setting.
Viviparous Quadrupeds: a historic boat project bringing an SF-built 1931 hay scow back to the city with free public performances on Mission Creek.
Puppet Summit: each year, we invite innovators of the avant garde nationwide to gather in SF with 70+ local puppeteers to confabulate, present short and long works, teach puppet-making to all ages, and celebrate the art form.
SFIOP Innovation Dock & Workshop at the Art Park: a center for large-scale artwork in the Sacramento Delta. A home for waterborne sculpture, classes and skillshare workshops, art building, storage and community events and performances. Hosting up to 60 visiting/contributing resident artists each season.
We provide technical and professional support to emerging and established artists, as well as create and direct original narrative events of great magnitude, using the power of story to inspire and involve solo artists and community groups in the making of immersive mega-performances. Our programs target and support low-income artists, families and audiences as participants, intentionally building bridges across differences in the creation of art.
