The Kenneth Rainin Foundation believes that artists are essential to our lives, as visionaries and storytellers. Their creative power is crucial to helping us reclaim our shared humanity, bridge communities and heal divides. Bay Area artists and cultural organizations continued to adapt to the pandemic and generate work that centered and uplifted our communities. They also propelled equity-driven solutions to build cultural wealth and cultivate connection.<\/p>\n
Under the leadership of Ted Russell\u2014promoted to Director, Arts Strategy & Ventures<\/a> in February\u2014we continued to focus our strategies on helping Bay Area artists thrive. With the combined expertise of Ted and Arts Program Officer Adriana Gri\u00f1\u00f3, our Arts program furthered initiatives focused on reimagining systems, supporting visionary artists and advancing equity.<\/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 “The Foundation is advancing initiatives to ensure that diverse artists thrive.

Our New and Experimental Works (NEW) Program<\/a> grantees varied their approaches to showcasing performances. Dance Mission Theater<\/a> produced a virtual film festival focused on parallels between COVID and the HIV and AIDS crises. Site-specific outdoor productions in San Francisco\u2019s Haight Ashbury included Joe Goode Performance Group\u2019s<\/a> exploration of the hippie era through a racial justice lens and Eye Zen Presents<\/a>\u2019 Queer history tour. In the fall, Z Space<\/a> and Shotgun Players<\/a> opened to live indoor performances, enacting extensive COVID safety protocols.<\/p>\n Artist-led public art projects supported by our Open Spaces Program<\/a> also adapted to connect deeply and safely with their communities. In one example, Mujeres Unidas y Activas<\/a> evolved “Y BASTA YA!<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong>” a project with NAKA Dance Theater, into a video series. The series focused on Indigenous and Latina immigrant women and issues of race, gender violence and invisibility. The project also encompassed mutual aid and centered language justice for Mam and Spanish speaking communities. The Kala Art Institute<\/a>, Golden Gate Library<\/a>\u00a0and Sue Mark<\/a> shifted to a virtual model where neighbors shared stories and community history for the collective memory bank in “Commons Archive<\/a>.”<\/p>\n To address the pandemic\u2019s ongoing impacts, we made shifts in our grantmaking programs. We increased funding and reduced grant restrictions for our project grants, and added early-stage development funding to the production grants we’ve historically offered for public art projects. We also hosted virtual discussions to create a space for peer learning<\/a> and exchange for practitioners working in the public realm.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.22.2″ background_color=”#006666″ width=”80%” max_width=”1080px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”40px|||40px” z_index_tablet=”500″ border_radii=”on|25px|25px|25px|25px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_color=”#006666″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px” custom_css_main_element=”border-radius: 20px;” 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=”Shafer Mazow Reflection” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font_size=”1em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” module_alignment=”center” z_index_tablet=”500″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \nGRANTEE INSIGHTS<\/span><\/p>\n Reflections On Leadership<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ make_equal=”on” module_class=”rounded” _builder_version=”3.25″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px||30px|” custom_padding=”|30px||30px” z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _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\/Arts_800_800_Shafer_FINAL-_headshot-2.jpg” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|0px||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”caption” module_class=”rounded” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ header_5_font_size=”15px” header_5_line_height=”1.6em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”|||0px” custom_padding=”0px|50px|0px|50px” custom_padding_tablet=”|20px||20px” custom_padding_phone=”|0px||0px” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” z_index_tablet=”500″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Z Space, one of our New Models Cohort organizations, announced its new distributed leadership model along with a milestone\u2014the first openly transgender executive director in American theater, Shafer Mazow.

We sought to understand its impact on individual artists and small to mid-size arts organizations, with a focus on racial equity. The report illuminated pronounced disparities<\/a> impacting the region\u2019s Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) artists and organizations. It also highlighted the decline of critical supports and the urgent need for additional resources. These findings inspired our relaunch of the East Bay Arts Relief Fund in November, in partnership with the Walter & Elise Haas Fund and Hellman Foundation. Administered by the Center for Cultural Innovation, this pooled fund distributed more than $380,000 to support the East Bay\u2019s diverse and vitally important cultural communities. Grants were awarded to 223 artists and cultural workers in Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, San Leandro, Hayward and Alameda.<\/p>\n We complemented those efforts by engaging field experts to assess our Arts program strategies using an equity lens. Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project<\/a> helped us pilot a demographic survey<\/a> and evaluated accessibility and equity in our NEW Program design. The Cultural Strategies Council<\/a> examined how our strategic partnerships and grantmaking can advance equity in the Bay Area arts ecosystem.

and possibilities for social change, which alter our perspectives. The SFFILM Rainin Grants supported 20 projects in various stages of screenwriting and development, including two films that center the disability community. Filmed from his wheelchair in Oakland, Reid Davenport connects the antiquated spectacle of the freak show with his own life in “I Didn\u2019t See You There,” which won Sundance’s US Documentary Directing Award<\/a>. In “Untitled Dwarfism Project,” director Julie Wyman confronts her own complicated diagnosis of dwarfism. She excavates the promise and peril of an emerging drug intended to make Little People taller\u2014and no longer themselves.<\/p>\n Oakland-based Center for Cultural Power<\/strong><\/a> is driving change by elevating the power of art and culture to shape new ideas and behavior locally and nationally. This women of color, artist-led organization is at the forefront of narrative change work at the intersection of art, social justice and the climate crisis.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.22″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”|50px|0px|50px” custom_padding_tablet=”|20px|0px|20px” custom_padding_phone=”|10px|0px|10px” 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” z_index_tablet=”500″ use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u201cArt helps us imagine the world in a different way, and it can also illuminate what is not so easily seen.

In March, Grantmakers in the Arts released \u201cSolidarity, Not Charity<\/a>,\u201d which we funded with the William and Flora Hewlett and Barr Foundations. It highlights how arts funders can transform the sector by investing in the alternative economy leadership of BIPOC, disabled, queer, trans and working class creatives. Our portfolio includes an array of initiatives that demonstrate creatives\u2019 changemaking power.<\/p>\n AmbitioUS<\/strong><\/a>, a national initiative led by the Center for Cultural Innovation, counters exploitative systems by supporting a growing hub of new economic models. They have prioritized work led by Black and Native American communities, including trailblazing organizations<\/a> like Oakland-based RUNWAY<\/a> and the Sustainable Economies Law Center<\/a>. Two other trailblazers, BlacSpace Cooperative<\/a> and East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative<\/a>, collaborated to acquire Esther\u2019s Orbit Room in 2021<\/a> through a direct public offering<\/a>. This project is part of a community vision to rebuild a thriving Black economic and cultural hub on West Oakland\u2019s Seventh Street.<\/p>\n The Community Arts Stabilization Trust<\/strong><\/a> (CAST), which we seeded in 2013 and continue to support, has expanded its work to keep artists and creatives rooted in their communities. In collaboration with other cultural leaders, CAST partnered with the City of Oakland on a constellation of real estate ventures that aims to preserve affordable arts spaces and the city\u2019s Black culture. One project with the Black Cultural Zone Collaborative<\/a> would provide affordable housing and creative and commercial space at Oakland\u2019s Liberation Park.
