A cooperative hub by-and-for Bay Area artists to practice mutual care, shared economics, and unabashed creativity. We're weaving creative community fabric across the Bay. Everybody has a part to play.
eachartist.orgArtists are the imaginary and nervous systems of our communities. Art is how we process together as a community. In the Bay Area, too many of us are isolated, burned out, and getting pushed out. EACH exists because artists deserve connective tissue — strong relationships, resource-sharing, coordination, and healing so we can stay rooted in our work and our communities.
In small groups meeting regularly to break bread, exchange ideas, opportunities, care, and feedback. We build reliable relationships.
Resonant local art shaped by the realities and possibilities of our community and land. Catch our pop-ups, shows, art walks, and more.
And coordinate resources, tools, space, connections, and money via mutual aid. We are stitching our creative economy back together.
community contributions flow into a shared pool managed by circles of neighborhood artists who also receive financial coaching.
Our pilot program: small groups of local artists who meet regularly to build creative capacity and relationships over time. EACH coaches circle-keepers, connects artists to grants, fellowships, trainings, and residencies, distributes microgrants to circulate amongst artists, and handles the admin so artists can focus on the art and the relationships.
Imagine an artistic renaissance — garage doors rolling up after dark, sidewalks and backyards and balconies and storefronts opening to a wave of artists ready to share their work. Art pouring into the streets. Neighbors stopping to listen, to look, to feel something together. A more connected, awe-inspired Bay Area — because when artists are resourced and connected, there is more space for truth and play in public life. More beauty. More courage. More civic imagination. Art is the backbone of collective conversation. It is what democracy is made of.
