In times of hardship and uncertainty, visionary artists illuminate our experiences and envision pathways to more vibrant communities. They gather us to find joy, heal deep wounds and summon our own creative power to mend what is broken. In 2022, Bay Area artists and cultural organizations continued to imagine and make captivating works of art that centered communities despite ongoing challenges.<\/p>\n
The Kenneth Rainin Foundation is committed to creating a more just, equitable ecosystem for artists to thrive. Our Arts Program evolved its strategies and approaches to reflect artists\u2019 changing practices. We remain focused on listening and learning from diverse visionaries and being responsive to community-defined needs.<\/p>\n

The project explores the significant role Ping Yuen affordable housing complex residents play in defending against cultural displacement and ensuring San Francisco\u2019s social, political and cultural integrity.

In April, we announced our second cohort of Rainin Fellows<\/a>, in partnership with United States Artists<\/a>. Four visionary Bay Area artists received $100,000 unrestricted grants and tailored supplemental support for their wide-ranging creative practices. Interdisciplinary artist and educator Brett Cook<\/a>\u00a0designs public projects that reflect and embody the complexity of loving communities. Film writer and director Maria Victoria Ponce<\/a>\u00a0highlights the vibrant, multilayered dimensions of poor and working class Latinx lives in the Bay Area. NAKA Dance Theater<\/a> founders Debby Kajiyama and Jos\u00e9 Ome Navarrete Mazatl engage people\u2019s histories and culture through interdisciplinary, experimental performance works. And Grammy-nominated creative Ryan Nicole Austin<\/a>\u00a0locates her practice at the intersection of art and activism.<\/p>\n Creating a more inclusive film landscape by ensuring broad access to artistic and financial support is at the heart of our partnership with SFFILM. The SFFILM Rainin Grant supported diverse filmmakers and stories<\/a> that spanned generations, genders, continents and cultural borders. The SFFILM Rainin Filmmaker with Disabilities grant was awarded to writer Sarah Granger<\/a> for “The Pain-Free Day.” The film explores the strained relationship of a teenage daughter and her mother who is housebound with severe pelvic pain.<\/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”

global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We further adapted our grantmaking strategies and practices to center and support artists in a time of dramatic changes. The arts community faced ongoing pandemic impacts, including a slow return of live audiences, rising costs and worker displacement. To acknowledge these strains, our Open Spaces and New & Experimental Works (NEW)\u00a0 grantmaking programs expanded our support beyond fully produced projects to include early-stage development and works in progress. To relieve burdens on applicants and grantees, we streamlined our application and shortened the time for funding decisions. To extend our resources as much as possible in our NEW Program, we committed to funding at least 80% recommended applicants\u2019 requested amount. Half of the grant funds remained unrestricted to address grantees\u2019 general operating needs.<\/p>\n We investigated expanding the role of intermediaries in our grantmaking<\/strong><\/a>. Our aim is to continue breaking down power dynamics and other systemic barriers facing historically excluded artists. While this exploration continues, we paused future application cycles for our NEW and Open Spaces Programs.<\/p>\n We also advanced our learning practices. We developed an equity-driven evaluation framework and continued collecting demographic data <\/strong><\/a>to better understand who our grantmaking serves and clarify gaps in our funding. Pamela Mattera, the Foundation\u2019s first Arts Program Fellow<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> also explored new ways to engage the Bay Area\u2019s cultural community, especially those who have been historically excluded from philanthropy. In December, we piloted Let\u2019s Talk: What Artists Need To Thrive<\/strong><\/a> in partnership with Beatrice Thomas and Authentic Arts & Media. This virtual series brings us in direct conversation with artists about their evolving practices and needs.

multi-year investments have funded bold approaches to help Bay Area artists and arts organizations thrive. On the cusp of their 10-year anniversary, Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST)<\/a> celebrated milestones that point to its success in securing affordable arts and cultural spaces. CounterPulse<\/a>, CAST\u2019s partner in testing their innovative real estate model, prepared to purchase its building<\/a>, a goal they\u2019ve been working toward for nearly 10 years. CounterPulse is proof that this new national model of sustainability for the arts works. CAST also unveiled a new arts and cultural center in their new home at 447 Minna<\/a> in San Francisco. The renovated building offers affordable workspace and performance and exhibition venues for arts and neighborhood groups. Tenants include PUSH Dance<\/a>, Women\u2019s Audio Mission<\/a> and the San Francisco Neo-Futurists<\/a>.<\/p>\n In East Oakland, CAST and the Black Cultural Zone<\/a> Collaborative Partnership opened the transformed Liberation Park<\/a>. Programming centers Black arts and culture and keeps space for Black and neighborhood businesses and residents. Future phases include the creation of Liberation Park Market Hall and Residences, a cooperative model for an affordable housing and commercial complex.<\/p>\n Foundation grants have also advanced the research and design of service models serving individual artists and artist-led organizations. In February, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts fully launched its Artist Power Center<\/a>, which was piloted as a one-stop support system during the pandemic. The robust digital platform connects artists and partner organizations while providing tailored recommendations for funding and artistic opportunities to strengthen careers.<\/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_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” z_index_tablet=”500″ use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n “Experimental, interdisciplinary arts deserve a permanent home in San Francisco.

In September, in response to ongoing pandemic impacts, we partnered with six foundations to launch the third East Bay Relief Fund for Individuals in the Arts. The Center for Cultural Innovation administered the fund<\/a>, distributing nearly $500K to support the region\u2019s diverse and vitally important cultural communities. Over the past three years, this fund has distributed over $1.6 million to more than 1,000 Bay Area artists.<\/p>\n We also joined other funders who work at the intersection of local communities, equity and arts and culture to create Bay Area Cultural Funders for Equity. A pooled fund will be used to invest in nonprofit organizations that amplify the voices, power, arts and cultures of people of color and other vulnerable communities. Nationally, we participated in a Learning Community of Practice with Grantmakers in the Arts<\/a>, a national association of arts and culture funders, focused on impact investing.<\/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_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” z_index_tablet=”500″ use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n “If you\u2019re an artist, you\u2026see what\u2019s happening.
