We enter communities with care, build relationships with people to understand the diversity of each community, and share knowledge to strengthen the capacity of people to help them find agency in whatever path they choose, be it ownership or a long-term lease.
Our creative and community-centered perspective on real estate, coupled with our community development and real estate expertise, enables us to build a bridge between arts and culture and real estate.
Not every arts group wants to own or is in a position to manage a building. We provide a stable “container” so artists and cultural organizations can focus on what matters most–bringing their valuable programs to the community. Access affordable space at 447 Minna for short-term rentals like rehearsals, screenings, art exhibitions, workshops, or popups that help grow your business.

Betti Ono Foundation’s partnership with CAST and the ongoing fight for equitable access to resources for Black cultural workers in Oakland.
The Space to Dream Initiative is a 10-year, CAST-led initiative designed to ensure long-term affordability for artists and arts organizations in the Bay Area.
The Anchoring Artists Fund is one of three new tools under this initiative that we’ve created to make timely, affordable capital available for individual artists, for-profit culture makers, and informal collectives looking to acquire space.
