SUPPORT

The Historic Bayview Opera House

Artist in Residence
The Ruth Williams Artist in Residence program provides Black artists with financial and spatial support to develop and produce original events, performances, and programming for the Bayview community. We provide artists, each representing a creative discipline (Music, Dance, Film, Theatre respectively) a stipend and production support for events in our facility.  Projects range from concerts, summer camps, fashion shows, workshops, film screenings, and dance battles, all with the intention of providing Black/BIPOC artists with what they are often in need of the most – a space to call home, time to create, and funds to execute their passion projects.

The AIR program is funded by the San Francisco Arts Commission, Community Challenge Grant, and SF Human Rights Commission.
