The Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST) has secured a lease to transform San Francisco's long-vacant Pier 29 into the city’s largest artist studio and exhibition space, aiming to revitalize the waterfront and provide affordable, creative space amid downtown’s commercial downturn.
CAST shares how it partnered with the Noonan Artists and the broader arts community to create a vision and goals for the new arts center at Pier 70, and how it continues to shape future projects.
As 2024 comes to a close, we’re proud to reflect on a year filled with growth, collaboration, and community impact.
