Visionary artists create expansive works that help us experience\u2014and express\u2014joy, compassion and possibility. In 2023, Bay Area artists continued to push the creative boundaries of film, dance, theater and public art. Our grantees are also leading the way toward a more just and equitable arts ecosystem by experimenting with innovative funding and support models.<\/p>\n
The Kenneth Rainin Foundation championed their creativity through our grantmaking and partnerships. We were also thrilled to welcome a new Arts Program Officer, Sarah Williams<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>Her wealth of first-hand experience with artists and nonprofits plays a vital role in supporting our grantees. Under Ted Russell\u2019s leadership, the Arts Team centered equity and trust to better meet artist-defined needs.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”15px|||” custom_padding=”0px|50px|0px|50px” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|20px|0px|20px” custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px|0px|0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quote” module_class=”quote” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” z_index_tablet=”500″ use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n “Artists continue to give us hope.

The Rainin Foundation continues to invest in an array of alternative economic and support models to advance equitable outcomes. A long-term partner for this effort is the Center for Cultural Innovation\u2019s AmbitioUS<\/strong><\/a>. This cross-sector initiative draws on core principles of self-determination and community wealth rooted in the Solidarity Economy<\/a>. The initiative, now at the five-year mark, has developed a hub of solutions that center Black, Indigenous and people of color. In 2023, we made a grant to their newest program, Sol Center for Liberated Work<\/strong><\/a>. This multi-racial, multi-sector effort uses advocacy, research, coalition building and grantmaking to secure social and economic protections for all workers.<\/p>\n Our vibrantly diverse arts community is primed to create new pathways so that artists have the resources they need to create and thrive. Emerging Arts Professionals\u2019 Artist Adaptability Circles<\/strong><\/a> uses a community-created, artist-led model of grantmaking and mutual aid to help historically under-resourced artists access paid work. <\/span>This program illustrates how funders can support artist-defined issues and projects that fall outside of traditional grant programs.<\/p>\n Grantee innovations are strengthening and empowering the arts community through shared services. The Guilded Freelancer Cooperative<\/strong><\/a> provides administrative functions and essential benefits like contract management, tax preparation and health care. Our funding supports their Northern California office to prototype a new front- and back-end invoicing and payment system. After a two-year pilot, Silicon Valley Creates<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 ArtsWeb identified successful elements and embedded those into BlacSpace Cooperative<\/a> in Oakland and ArtsWebHub<\/a>\u00a0in Santa Clara County. Long-time partner Theatre Bay Area<\/strong><\/a> is researching and piloting an equity-focused suite of shared administrative services and resources for theaters. \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” min_height=”94.6px” custom_padding=”|50px|0px|50px” custom_padding_tablet=”|20px|0px|20px” custom_padding_phone=”|10px|0px|10px” z_index_tablet=”500″ make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quote” module_class=”quote” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” min_height=”89.6px” custom_margin=”-15px|||||” z_index_tablet=”500″ use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n “Artists most affected by historic and systemic harms are showing us how to imagine and build paths to a better world, one that will benefit us all.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” min_height=”71px” custom_margin=”|auto|8px|auto|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||20px|20px” custom_margin_phone=”||10px|20px” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”0px|50px|41px|50px||” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|20px||20px” custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px||0px” z_index_tablet=”500″ make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quotee – Sean Dorsey” module_class=”quotee” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” z_index_tablet=”500″ use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u2014Cate Fox and Nichole M.

Recognizing the need for a bold solution to the Bay Area\u2019s affordability crisis, the Rainin Foundation launched CAST with a $5 million grant. Over the past 10 years, CAST<\/a> has excelled at developing a constellation of spaces stewarded by and for the arts community. Its first pilot project achieved a major milestone in 2023 <\/span>when CounterPulse purchased its San Francisco venue<\/a>.

This online series focused on three communities that have been historically excluded in philanthropy: queer artists, artists with disabilities and Indigenous artists. Along with an audience that included other arts funders, we heard artists call for more trust, transparency and accountability from funders, along with greater equity in funding.<\/p>\n Our 2023 NEW Program debuted changes to advance equity. In response to the arts community\u2019s request for simplified application and reporting requirements, we collaborated with the Fleishhacker Foundation and Zellerbach Family Foundation to launch the first-ever Common App for the Arts<\/a>. This single application streamlines the process for grantseekers. It was designed with replication in mind and we\u2019re thrilled that a growing number of arts funders are embracing it. To shift the power of grantmaking decisions closer to the community, our NEW Program used a review panel of four Bay Area artists to make funding recommendations. Recognizing the challenges to securing operational and project support, we also awarded projects at 100% of the requested amount.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”||0px|” z_index_tablet=”500″ make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/krfoundation.org\/year-in-review\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/1080-575-Arts_Temescal.jpg” alt=”A person holds a tiny 3D mockup of a sculpture, while a second person points to it.
