Intersection for the Arts is a bedrock Bay Area arts nonprofit that's dedicated to helping artists grow. Through vital resources, including fiscal sponsorship, low-cost coworking and event space, professional development programs, and public art projects, we empower people to continue creating, thinking big, and taking weird and wonderful risks.We believe art and culture are necessary elements of wellbeing. That's why we serve people working in the arts—from artists to educators to administrators to funders.We take the stance that artists should be at the top of the systems that were originally created to support their work. Art institutions would not exist but for artists' creativity, sweat, blood, tears, and enormously generous hearts. We support those who take matters into their own capable hands and make their own opportunities. We stand by artists every day in their efforts to make our communities better, healthier, more exciting and dynamic places to live our lives.
