The Equitable Development Initiative combines local knowledge, strategic partnerships, and program design expertise to support developers of color in advancing their careers and making a positive impact on communities.
With the California Arts Council’s Creative Corps program, YBCA will be piloting a community co-design process with select communities within the Bay Area, providing artists with a living wage as they work with nonprofit institutions in their communities within one of the four key issue areas to create a project of their choice. These issue areas include civic engagement, climate justice, community health and wellness, and social justice.
With $2.5 million in financing help from CAST and lending support from Community Vision, Oakstop was able to purchase its flagship building at 1721 Broadway for $8 million.
San Francisco’s CounterPulse shows how arts organizations can take advantage of a lease-to-own model developed by CAST.
Oakstop’s purchase of its flagship building represents a big win for art, artists, entrepreneurship, and Black real estate ownership in the Bay Area.
