Who We Are

The Bay Area Society for Art & Activism is a diverse and intergenerational community celebrating the way artists and activists engage with issues of social justice, hope, freedom, history, democracy, love, labor, class, the environment and more.

Our goal is to cultivate art and activism as vital regional values and to return creative, cultural and monetary resources to Bay Area artists, curators and activists so that they can continue to create the incredible work that makes the Bay Area a beacon of subversive, socially-engaged art and visionary grassroots activism. We accomplish this through our programs, including community events, exhibitions, informal gatherings, and our blog, online archive and quarterly newsletter.

We are an operationally-light nonprofit collective and a fiscally-sponsored project of San Francisco’s historic SOMArts Cultural Center. We are non-hierarchically structured and do not manage any physical spaces or full-time staff.

Membership donations, grants, and gifts are our primary means of financial support. Our fiscal sponsorship qualifies all gifts as tax-deductible contributions.
