It’s Giving Tuesday! Be a Part of Oasis Arts
Tomorrow, November 29th, is Giving Tuesday, a day when every act of generosity unleashes a vision for a better world. I invite you to donate and join us in transforming the landscape of LGBTQIA+ arts both in San Francisco and globally. We have an opportunity to make history. Be part of it.
As you may already know, our nonprofit arts organization, Oasis Arts, was unveiled this June. Oasis Arts supports artists through collaboration, development, and mentorship by providing tools, venue space, resources and equipment to enable LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artists to create innovative and diverse art. Partnering with Oasis Nightclub, and leveraging the seven-year history of the queer arts scene, Oasis Arts will work to elevate diversity and bring vibrant art to the community by embracing participation across generations, cultural backgrounds, and individual expressions.
Starting with San Francisco, we need a city that is committed to nourishing rising artists, promoting established artists, and honoring the trailblazers that paved our way. A thriving arts scene requires a healthy mix of new growth among the rooted creators. This is the formula for a first-class city. Oasis Arts' mission includes programs which will work realizing this goal.
With your donations here’s what the future looks like for Oasis Arts:
Oasis Arts will have a physical home in SOMA and a 5000 square-foot soundstage which will be made available to hundreds of artists as space with equipment for film & video production.
Grants will be made available for queer Bay Area filmmakers through Oasis Arts
Oasis Arts will coordinate funding for four murals yearly throughout the city.
Oasis Arts inaugurated an Artist in Residence program at Oasis Nightclub, which will continue to aid nascent creators.
Oasis Arts will create a fund focused on living wages for theater artists and designers.
Oasis Arts will develop a Legacy program to support elder artists in the community.
Oasis Arts will provide a nightlife arts fund to support the breathtaking work that is being created in the club scene.
Oasis Arts is committed to uplift the voices of the historically suppressed, disenfranchised, and forgotten LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC community by providing a platform to present artistic expression.
