TEN-FORWARD @ Z Space
Tuesday, July 2
ASG is facing a challenging moment in our history. We are facing displacement from our current location of 9 years due to rent hikes and other non-negotiable lease terms.
Our challenge comes a time where our growth has otherwise been momentous. Over the past few years, you’ve helped us grow from an artist-run space into a nationally funded non-profit with recognition and awards from renowned foundations such as the National Endowment for the Arts, Andy Warhol Foundation, and more.
Your help right now is critical fuel for our community’s future and we need your help during this pivotal moment. Our goal is to raise $100K for the transition within the next few months so ASG can have a bright future in the Bay Area as a vehicle for ground-breaking multimedia and experimental works in video and installation that spark challenging conversations and create new worlds of thought. We cannot do this without your help!

Why Now
We believe in an Oakland where artists can make and experience art in a safe space with access to production tools and hands-on guidance, creating work that fuels critical dialogue in a time when it is desperately needed. Artists are visionaries. Artists need space, money, and community to make their best work, asking critical questions that help our society thrive. In August we will be priced out of the only home we have ever known, but we already have partnerships and satellite programming lined up for the following 10 months. This leap needs to happen for our community and an investment in ASG is an investment in weird and daring art in Oakland. Thanks for believing in us and partnering with us for the future!
