WHAT IS THE EXPO?

The Expo is an all-day extravanganza featuring more than 100 Bay Area

arts organizations, free workshops, pefomances, and hundreds of local

galleries, nonprofits, collectives and small businesses; present

their portfolios; and join in workshops on grant proposals,

censorship, arts marketing, underground art history, making a demo

tape and more.

 

WHAT IS THE EXPO?

The Expo is the Bay Area's only grassroots connection fair for

independent arts, music & culture -- an all-day extravaganza

featuring more than 120 Bay Area arts organizations, free workshops,

children's activities, our new Community Arts Showcase featuring

local music and performance, and hundreds of local artists and

musicians.

Attendees can meet a dazzling variety of local galleries, nonprofits,

collectives and small businesses; present portfolios and music demos;

and participate in workshops, seminars and skillshares on arts skills

and methods, business and promotions, legal issues, community-

building and more!

In 2005, after five years at Cellspace in the Mission, the Expo moved

to the SomArts Cultural Center in the South of Market district.

It was the biggest, most colorful and most exciting Expo to date,

with 124 arts groups exhibiting (a record number that included new

groups from outside the Bay Area, from Sacramento to San Diego),

approx. 1,000 individual attendees, and a new performance program --

the Community Arts Showcase -- that featured everything from

Appalchian string-band dance music to North Indian Kathak dancing,

even a Tuvan-style throat singer!

As we grow, the Expo remains firmly in the grassroots, and is

dedicated to strengthening creative and cultural activity,

participation and cross-pollination at the community level.
