Our Community Arts Program turns 50!

With your support, our annual live & silent art auction raises crucial funding for Hospitality House’s six programs including our Community Arts Program, the only art studio and gallery available for Tenderloin and South-of-Market neighborhood artists who otherwise do not have access to art materials and resources to learn, create, develop, exhibit, and sell their artwork — all free-of-charge!

Artists Tan Sirinumas and Billy Crawford collaborate on a piece at Hospitality House’s Community Arts Program studio.

A community is more than a group of people living in a specific geographic area. Access to art and culture are the breath of a vibrant community and Hospitality House believes that every resident has a right to have a voice in their community through the creation and celebration of local art.
