Northern California arts organizations are scrambling to save programs in the face of declining ticket sales, membership and foundation grants. We check in with some long-established local arts institutions to see how they're coping.

Host: Scott Shafer

Guests:

  • Courtney Fink, executive director of Southern Exposure, a San Francisco-based nonprofit visual arts organization that supports emerging artists
  • David Gockley, general director of the San Francisco Opera
  • John Killacky, program officer for arts and culture at The San Francisco Foundation, a community foundation serving the entire Bay Area
  • Margo Dunlap, executive director of Pro Arts Gallery, an Oakland-based nonprofit membership organization and gallery
  • Raelle Myrick-Hodges, artistic director for Brava! for Women in the Arts, presenting theater, music and educational programs that celebrate feminism and multiculturalism
