Recently, some club owners have said they’re weeks or months away from closing. [aside postid='arts_13890093']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While pleased with the compromise, San Francisco Venue Coalition member Casey Lowdermilk says he’s cautiously optimistic. “There are a lot of steps still to be done—implementation, distribution and tracking all the venues in San Francisco to make sure they can get this money and survive this shutdown,” says Lowdermilk, who is also the assistant general manager of Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the San Francisco Venue Coalition will continue its campaign in city hall, which urges San Francisco to set aside $48 million to allow around 50 music venues to survive 16–18 months of closure. “We’re kind of concerned that federal money might not be timely enough, so we’re still pushing forward in San Francisco as planned,” Lowdermilk says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney also emphasized the sense of urgency. “I\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> think our concern now is how quickly that money can be disbursed,” he says. “Some of these venues are weeks or months away from going under. They can’t wait until next year or for the federal bureaucracy to figure it out.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Haney proposed the creation of the San Francisco Independent Venue Recovery Fund. It doesn’t have a dollar figure attached to it yet, and the Board of Supervisors is set to discuss it at tomorrow’s meeting on Dec. 22.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney says that while this federal stimulus package doesn’t include funds directly for city and state governments—which San Francisco badly needs to avoid job and service cuts—his office is researching options for funding music venue relief. Those could include soliciting donations from the private sector, or a loan program that can provide relief in the short term until Save Our Stages money arrives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“These venues have a lot of people who love them and want to support them,” Haney says. “T\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">he local funding is challenging obviously because we’re facing a massive deficit and are going to make a lot of cuts to our budget. But I think this should be prioritized, especially if it’s money that can be matched or reimbursed at a later date. … I\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">f San Francisco loses these venues, the longterm impacts will be very severe.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was updated to include quotes from Supervisor Matt Haney.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Although she was initially reluctant, her fellow company members (“my brothers,” she remarks fondly) talked her into it by telling her, “You tell us what to do all the time anyway, so you might as well just direct this play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saying “yes” to unexpected opportunity—whether it’s been directing, teaching, or mentoring a new generation of artistic voices—has been a trademark of Hall’s multi-faceted career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the success of her directorial debut, Hall was determined to learn more about the craft, which she knew involved a lot more than the “hanging out,” as she refers to the process, with her Campo Santo family. This took the form of shadowing directors she admired, and learning the vocabulary of time management, and working with designers and production staff in bigger theaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my directing aesthetic comes from being an actor and understanding how to work with actors,” she reflects. “I feel my strength is really pulling the work out of actors in a way that they feel appreciated.” Over the years she’s cultivated her skills in both, and her work has appeared in one capacity or another on pretty much every major Bay Area stage (as well as films like 2016’s \u003cem>Blindspotting\u003c/em>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11841768\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11841768\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Margo Hall and Aldo Billingslea star in Fences at California Shakespeare Theater\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-400x266.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-768x511.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-1920x1278.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-960x639.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Margo Hall and Aldo Billingslea star in ‘Fences’ at California Shakespeare Theater. \u003ccite>(Photo: Kevin Berne/California Shakespeare Theater)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s common to refer to actors who also sing and dance as “triple threats,” and by extension, Hall could be considered a sextuple threat, at minimum: she also directs, teaches and writes. But artistic directorship has been one role she’s put off, even though this isn’t the first time over the past ten years that the Lorraine Hansberry has invited her to take it on. For one reason or another, she never felt the time was right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even this time around, if you asked me six months ago if I thought I would be the artistic director of Lorraine Hansberry I would tell you no, that wasn’t my plan,” she admits. But her perspective shifted during the pandemic, causing her to reevaluate where she wanted to channel her energies. And so, this time when the company’s executive director Stephanie Shoffner offered her the position, she was ready to “once again…say yes to something I had no idea of what to do!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she’s still navigating the specifics of fundraising and day-to-day operations, she’s not short on artistic ideas. She hopes that the New Black Voices initiative for playwrights will eventually include full productions, and she’s eager to see a return to producing Black classics as well as contemporary, multi-disciplinary work, a particular strength of Campo Santo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13889587\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13889587\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Margo Hall in ‘Fe in the Desert,’ by Jessica Hagedorn, with Campo Santo. \u003ccite>(Jeff Fohl)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As a mentor and a leader, Hall exudes a self-possession instilled in her from a young age and honed over her long career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I grew up in a household where…being Black was the best thing ever,” she reminisces. “Not that we were better than anyone else, but that we were these powerful beings.” Learning to keep hold of her power, and “show up as herself” on every project has been a lifelong pursuit, and one with many levels and lessons.

Although this will be her first time in the role of artistic director, it’s certainly not her first time creating and holding artistic space, a talent she’s cultivated over the course of many years—particularly with the long-running theater collective, Campo Santo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13889588\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13889588\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_Fe_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-800x591.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_Fe_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-800x591.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_Fe_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-1020x753.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_Fe_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-160x118.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_Fe_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-768x567.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_Fe_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-1536x1135.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_Fe_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-2048x1513.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_Fe_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-1920x1418.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Margo Hall as Fe in ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ by Jessica Hagedorn, with Campo Santo. \u003ccite>(Jeff Fohl)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s with Campo Santo that Hall first made the leap from acting to directing, in a 1998 co-production with Word for Word.

This took the form of shadowing directors she admired, and learning the vocabulary of time management, and working with designers and production staff in bigger theaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my directing aesthetic comes from being an actor and understanding how to work with actors,” she reflects. “I feel my strength is really pulling the work out of actors in a way that they feel appreciated.” Over the years she’s cultivated her skills in both, and her work has appeared in one capacity or another on pretty much every major Bay Area stage (as well as films like 2016’s \u003cem>Blindspotting\u003c/em>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11841768\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11841768\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Margo Hall and Aldo Billingslea star in Fences at California Shakespeare Theater\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-400x266.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-768x511.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-1920x1278.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Margo-Hall-and-Aldo-Billingslea-star-in-Fences-at-California-Shakespeare-Theater-960x639.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Margo Hall and Aldo Billingslea star in ‘Fences’ at California Shakespeare Theater. \u003ccite>(Photo: Kevin Berne/California Shakespeare Theater)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s common to refer to actors who also sing and dance as “triple threats,” and by extension, Hall could be considered a sextuple threat, at minimum: she also directs, teaches and writes. But artistic directorship has been one role she’s put off, even though this isn’t the first time over the past ten years that the Lorraine Hansberry has invited her to take it on. For one reason or another, she never felt the time was right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even this time around, if you asked me six months ago if I thought I would be the artistic director of Lorraine Hansberry I would tell you no, that wasn’t my plan,” she admits. But her perspective shifted during the pandemic, causing her to reevaluate where she wanted to channel her energies. And so, this time when the company’s executive director Stephanie Shoffner offered her the position, she was ready to “once again…say yes to something I had no idea of what to do!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she’s still navigating the specifics of fundraising and day-to-day operations, she’s not short on artistic ideas. She hopes that the New Black Voices initiative for playwrights will eventually include full productions, and she’s eager to see a return to producing Black classics as well as contemporary, multi-disciplinary work, a particular strength of Campo Santo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13889587\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13889587\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/MargoHall_FeInTheDesert_CampoSantoJessicaHagedorn_photocredit_JeffFohl.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Margo Hall in ‘Fe in the Desert,’ by Jessica Hagedorn, with Campo Santo. \u003ccite>(Jeff Fohl)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As a mentor and a leader, Hall exudes a self-possession instilled in her from a young age and honed over her long career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I grew up in a household where…being Black was the best thing ever,” she reminisces. “Not that we were better than anyone else, but that we were these powerful beings.” Learning to keep hold of her power, and “show up as herself” on every project has been a lifelong pursuit, and one with many levels and lessons.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco’s live music scene has technically been on pause since the start of shelter-in-place orders in March, but unofficial concerts and DJ sets have popped up all over the city in parks, beaches and street corners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past several weeks, musicians, theater artists and event presenters have \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13885038/sf-venue-owners-musicians-ask-city-to-allow-outdoor-performances\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">asked local government\u003c/a> to allow for socially distanced, outdoor performances, arguing that regulated shows would be safer than guerilla-style ones with no rules or guidelines. Not to mention it would provide an economic boost for an industry that’s completely ground to a halt during the pandemic, during which many artists and businesses \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13883952/three-congressional-bills-could-help-save-independent-music-venues\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">haven’t qualified for government aid\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Mayor London Breed’s office announced a new permit through the Entertainment Commission that aims to allow live, outdoor music and entertainment on a small scale. The \u003ca href=\"http://sf.gov/jam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JAM (Just Add Music) permit\u003c/a> offers businesses a way to book DJs, live music (without singing or wind instruments), dance, theater, comedy or film screenings with amplified sound in the city’s existing \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/shared-spaces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shared Spaces\u003c/a> locations. Those include outdoor dining areas, farmers’ markets, outdoor fitness classes and drive-in theaters that operate in accordance to the city’s social distancing rules, mask mandate and other public health guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new permit, whose \u003ca href=\"http://sf.gov/jam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">application\u003c/a> is now live, marks the first time San Francisco is formally incorporating live entertainment into the current phase of its reopening plan. With the free permit, restaurants can book DJs in their patios and parklets while avoiding the fees and lengthy, bureaucratic process they would have had to undertake to allow ongoing entertainment or one-time special events before COVID-19. And, perhaps more crucially, music venues and theaters whose income streams have halted now have a pathway to resuming live events. [aside postid='arts_13886828']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a music venue to participate, it can enroll in the city’s \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/shared-spaces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shared Spaces program\u003c/a>—which opens parklets, sidewalks, parking lots and city streets for socially distanced, outdoor dining—or have access to other authorized outdoor property, such as a patio or rooftop. (The venue must also have a kitchen or partnership with a neighboring restaurant.) Once those requirements are met, the venue can put on a ticketed event under two hours long, as long as food is served.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[The entertainment industry] is not just an afterthought. We can’t be. We have to be part of this right now,” says San Francisco Entertainment Commission Executive Director Maggie Weiland. The JAM permit arrives after the latest wave of reopenings in San Francisco, which allowed indoor hair salons, gyms, museums (with limited capacity) and drive-in movie screenings to begin operating last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think our small, outdoor performances that will be permitted through this program, and in accordance with health rules, are different from large, indoor performances,” says Weiland. “Until now, those venues have only been contemplated in phase four of the reopening plan.” (Phase four would signal the end of shelter-in-place orders, and require the availability of COVID-19 therapeutics or a vaccine.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Fred Barnes, co-founder of advocacy group the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13878116/independent-venue-alliance-offers-hope-for-local-music-ecosystem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Independent Venue Alliance\u003c/a>, piloted a socially distanced, outdoor concert in the parking lot of Mission district concert venue The Chapel, where he is the general manager. The ticketed show featured only instrumental music. Masked diners at distanced tables listened to a band as food was served. For Barnes and his industry peers, the event’s success is a hopeful sign that safe concerts are possible, and that other businesses can follow suit. [aside postid='arts_13885038']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think one of the things that was really important about that show we did was that a lot of people remarked afterwards that it was the safest spot in the Mission in terms of the public health ordinances really being controlled by security, with temperature taking and all the things that need to be done,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deanna Sison, owner of the bar \u003ca href=\"http://www.victoryhallsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Victory Hall\u003c/a> and adjoining restaurant \u003ca href=\"http://www.littleskilletsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Little Skillet\u003c/a>, says that the opportunity to offer entertainment will be a boon for businesses like hers. Her street, near Oracle Park, has seen a complete drop off in foot traffic since baseball games aren’t currently open to fans. Through the Shared Spaces program, she has an entire alleyway to seat customers, and she hopes live music can entice them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We used to host neighborhood block parties,” she says. “In the future, we’re trying to bring back a version of that and doing that as safely as we possibly can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North Beach bar \u003ca href=\"http://vesuvio.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vesuvio\u003c/a>, open since 1948, plans to partner with a neighboring restaurant to operate a Shared Space with live music in the historic Jack Kerouac Alley. Owner Janet Clyde says the JAM permit offers an easier way of doing things for her business, which doesn’t have an entertainment license and previously had to obtain special event permits anytime it wanted to book live music. “Since we’re in the COVID times and our capacity is limited, it’s going to help us be sustainable in some fashion,” she says. [aside postid='arts_13883952']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clyde says that though Vesuvio has remained closed for the past six months, she’s committed to paying musicians. So is Aaron Paul, co-owner of Russian Hill cocktail bar and cafe \u003ca href=\"https://www.macondraysf.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Macondray\u003c/a>, who says that even though his revenue is only 30% of what it used to be, artist compensation is one place where he can’t cut costs. “That’s really important and something I’m proud to be able to do,” he says, emphasizing the importance of live music. “It’s a quality thing. People know when they’re listening to a Spotify playlist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to aiding small businesses in their economic recovery, the Entertainment Commission’s Weiland hopes the JAM program will also offer San Francisco spiritual nourishment, especially after the last few turbulent weeks of wildfire-induced smoke amid the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Music is medicine. Art, culture and entertainment are healing,” Weiland says. “And I think our collective community needs this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was updated to clarify that businesses with Shared Spaces permits or access to other types of authorized outdoor property qualify for the JAM program. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Not to mention it would provide an economic boost for an industry that’s completely ground to a halt during the pandemic, during which many artists and businesses \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13883952/three-congressional-bills-could-help-save-independent-music-venues\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">haven’t qualified for government aid\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Mayor London Breed’s office announced a new permit through the Entertainment Commission that aims to allow live, outdoor music and entertainment on a small scale. The \u003ca href=\"http://sf.gov/jam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JAM (Just Add Music) permit\u003c/a> offers businesses a way to book DJs, live music (without singing or wind instruments), dance, theater, comedy or film screenings with amplified sound in the city’s existing \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/shared-spaces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shared Spaces\u003c/a> locations. Those include outdoor dining areas, farmers’ markets, outdoor fitness classes and drive-in theaters that operate in accordance to the city’s social distancing rules, mask mandate and other public health guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new permit, whose \u003ca href=\"http://sf.gov/jam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">application\u003c/a> is now live, marks the first time San Francisco is formally incorporating live entertainment into the current phase of its reopening plan. With the free permit, restaurants can book DJs in their patios and parklets while avoiding the fees and lengthy, bureaucratic process they would have had to undertake to allow ongoing entertainment or one-time special events before COVID-19. And, perhaps more crucially, music venues and theaters whose income streams have halted now have a pathway to resuming live events. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We have to be part of this right now,” says San Francisco Entertainment Commission Executive Director Maggie Weiland. The JAM permit arrives after the latest wave of reopenings in San Francisco, which allowed indoor hair salons, gyms, museums (with limited capacity) and drive-in movie screenings to begin operating last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think our small, outdoor performances that will be permitted through this program, and in accordance with health rules, are different from large, indoor performances,” says Weiland. “Until now, those venues have only been contemplated in phase four of the reopening plan.” (Phase four would signal the end of shelter-in-place orders, and require the availability of COVID-19 therapeutics or a vaccine.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Fred Barnes, co-founder of advocacy group the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13878116/independent-venue-alliance-offers-hope-for-local-music-ecosystem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Independent Venue Alliance\u003c/a>, piloted a socially distanced, outdoor concert in the parking lot of Mission district concert venue The Chapel, where he is the general manager. The ticketed show featured only instrumental music. Masked diners at distanced tables listened to a band as food was served. For Barnes and his industry peers, the event’s success is a hopeful sign that safe concerts are possible, and that other businesses can follow suit. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Normally, every two years, the performance venues located in and around San Francisco’s Project Artaud buzz with activity from a variety of ensemble theater-makers for foolsFURY’s Fury Factory Festival. On any given day of the festival, one might see fragments of works-in-progress, wild forays into the furthest reaches of imagination, reflections on the nature of a mediated existence, works that explore how history and story are shaped, and pieces that thrust the audience into an active, participatory role. It’s a glorious assemblage of collective creation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a field, ensemble theater has long challenged industry “norms,” often with transformative results. While there are almost as many ways to create as there are ensembles creating it, the process is frequently open-ended. A single work might take years of collaborative, multi-disciplinary endeavor before it’s staged for a particular audience. Characteristics that ensemble artists share include an appetite for exploration, a flexibility of medium, and an ability—even enthusiasm—for adapting to unusual and challenging circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13886297\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13886297\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer-800x394.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer-800x394.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer-1020x502.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer-160x79.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer-768x378.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer.png 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The BUILD organizers in conversation: Festival Director Claudia Alick and foolsFURY Artistic Director Debórah Eliezer. \u003ccite>(screenshot courtesy of foolsFURY)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This year, foolsFURY got the opportunity to display their own adaptability by postponing this year’s Fury Factory festival to 2021, and instead have reapportioned their energies towards a digital convening for ensemble artists intent on reimagining not only their own work, but the field at large. In the wake of the pandemic shutdown, the pressing calls for racial and economic justice that have entered the national discourse have proliferated in the arts sector as well. And who better to tackle those issues head-on than the artists whose practice frequently asks them to iterate, to challenge, to dismantle, and to reconstruct?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So instead of attending the Fury Factory as I’d originally planned, this weekend I attended foolsFURY’s BUILD From Here, a two-day online workshop addressing these exact issues. As foolsFURY artistic director Debórah Eliezer observed in her opening remarks, “ensemble practices have prepared us uniquely for this moment.” And with Guest Festival Director and transmedia specialist Claudia Alick at the helm, it wasn’t just ensemble practices but technological know-how that made foolsFURY’s convening possible, and impactful for participants on both side of the screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the core of much of the discourse was the role of artists and arts workers in reshaping not only the way we work, but the cultural landscape, and by extension, the political one as well. And who better to kick off that conversation than the multi-talented performance artist \u003ca href=\"http://kristinawong.com/\">Kristina Wong\u003c/a>, who, rather than embarking on her previously scheduled “political campaign” around the country, was forced to stay home with the rest of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13886299\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13886299\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Brunch-and-Budgets-Dyalekt-and-Pamela-Capalad.-Photo-courtesy-of-Brunch-and-Budget-800x1066.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1066\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Brunch-and-Budgets-Dyalekt-and-Pamela-Capalad.-Photo-courtesy-of-Brunch-and-Budget-800x1066.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Brunch-and-Budgets-Dyalekt-and-Pamela-Capalad.-Photo-courtesy-of-Brunch-and-Budget-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Brunch-and-Budgets-Dyalekt-and-Pamela-Capalad.-Photo-courtesy-of-Brunch-and-Budget-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Brunch-and-Budgets-Dyalekt-and-Pamela-Capalad.-Photo-courtesy-of-Brunch-and-Budget.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dyalekt and Pamela Capalad of Brunch and Budget, who presented on the racial wealth gap and art shaping culture. \u003ccite>(courtesy of Brunch and Budget)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Instead of spending time mourning what could have been, Wong pivoted to digital performance, and, more importantly, used her considerable skills as a designer and fabric artist to mastermind a nationwide network of volunteer mask-sewers.

A facilitated conversation about the concept of aesthetic equity led by Alison De La Cruz (representing the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ensembletheaters.net/\">Network of Ensemble Theatres\u003c/a>) generated action steps among the participants. These included changing philanthropic funding criteria, acknowledging the value of lived experience over academic experience, decolonizing the field of criticism, and working to counteract the scarcity model that fosters a climate of competition over limited resources, focusing instead on \u003cem>generation\u003c/em> by pooling together materials, space, skills, and knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On day two, those conversations were expanded and built upon with presentations about alternative economic models and financial acumen, horizontal leadership, the racial wealth divide, and the ways that culture actively shapes society.

On any given day of the festival, one might see fragments of works-in-progress, wild forays into the furthest reaches of imagination, reflections on the nature of a mediated existence, works that explore how history and story are shaped, and pieces that thrust the audience into an active, participatory role. It’s a glorious assemblage of collective creation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a field, ensemble theater has long challenged industry “norms,” often with transformative results. While there are almost as many ways to create as there are ensembles creating it, the process is frequently open-ended. A single work might take years of collaborative, multi-disciplinary endeavor before it’s staged for a particular audience. Characteristics that ensemble artists share include an appetite for exploration, a flexibility of medium, and an ability—even enthusiasm—for adapting to unusual and challenging circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13886297\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13886297\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer-800x394.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer-800x394.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer-1020x502.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer-160x79.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer-768x378.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Build_ClaudiaAlick_DeborahEliezer.png 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The BUILD organizers in conversation: Festival Director Claudia Alick and foolsFURY Artistic Director Debórah Eliezer. \u003ccite>(screenshot courtesy of foolsFURY)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This year, foolsFURY got the opportunity to display their own adaptability by postponing this year’s Fury Factory festival to 2021, and instead have reapportioned their energies towards a digital convening for ensemble artists intent on reimagining not only their own work, but the field at large. In the wake of the pandemic shutdown, the pressing calls for racial and economic justice that have entered the national discourse have proliferated in the arts sector as well. And who better to tackle those issues head-on than the artists whose practice frequently asks them to iterate, to challenge, to dismantle, and to reconstruct?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So instead of attending the Fury Factory as I’d originally planned, this weekend I attended foolsFURY’s BUILD From Here, a two-day online workshop addressing these exact issues. As foolsFURY artistic director Debórah Eliezer observed in her opening remarks, “ensemble practices have prepared us uniquely for this moment.” And with Guest Festival Director and transmedia specialist Claudia Alick at the helm, it wasn’t just ensemble practices but technological know-how that made foolsFURY’s convening possible, and impactful for participants on both side of the screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the core of much of the discourse was the role of artists and arts workers in reshaping not only the way we work, but the cultural landscape, and by extension, the political one as well. And who better to kick off that conversation than the multi-talented performance artist \u003ca href=\"http://kristinawong.com/\">Kristina Wong\u003c/a>, who, rather than embarking on her previously scheduled “political campaign” around the country, was forced to stay home with the rest of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13886299\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13886299\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Brunch-and-Budgets-Dyalekt-and-Pamela-Capalad.-Photo-courtesy-of-Brunch-and-Budget-800x1066.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1066\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Brunch-and-Budgets-Dyalekt-and-Pamela-Capalad.-Photo-courtesy-of-Brunch-and-Budget-800x1066.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Brunch-and-Budgets-Dyalekt-and-Pamela-Capalad.-Photo-courtesy-of-Brunch-and-Budget-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Brunch-and-Budgets-Dyalekt-and-Pamela-Capalad.-Photo-courtesy-of-Brunch-and-Budget-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Brunch-and-Budgets-Dyalekt-and-Pamela-Capalad.-Photo-courtesy-of-Brunch-and-Budget.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dyalekt and Pamela Capalad of Brunch and Budget, who presented on the racial wealth gap and art shaping culture. \u003ccite>(courtesy of Brunch and Budget)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Instead of spending time mourning what could have been, Wong pivoted to digital performance, and, more importantly, used her considerable skills as a designer and fabric artist to mastermind a nationwide network of volunteer mask-sewers.

Namely, how do we reconfigure the cultural sector to center racial justice, economic equity, accessibility, and care for community in every project and organization? A facilitated conversation about the concept of aesthetic equity led by Alison De La Cruz (representing the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ensembletheaters.net/\">Network of Ensemble Theatres\u003c/a>) generated action steps among the participants. These included changing philanthropic funding criteria, acknowledging the value of lived experience over academic experience, decolonizing the field of criticism, and working to counteract the scarcity model that fosters a climate of competition over limited resources, focusing instead on \u003cem>generation\u003c/em> by pooling together materials, space, skills, and knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On day two, those conversations were expanded and built upon with presentations about alternative economic models and financial acumen, horizontal leadership, the racial wealth divide, and the ways that culture actively shapes society. One of many takeaways being: if creatives are shaping the culture that shapes society, why shouldn’t we put that energy to work in creating the society we want to live in, with the communities we want to be a part of?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Panel discussions with members of culturally specific organizations, and ensemble artists who have been discovering new ways to create work both digitally and distanced, bookended the conference with considerations of joyous possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13886295\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13886295\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Dr.-Ayodele-Nzinga--800x396.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Dr.-Ayodele-Nzinga--800x396.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Dr.-Ayodele-Nzinga--1020x504.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Dr.-Ayodele-Nzinga--160x79.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Dr.-Ayodele-Nzinga--768x380.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/BUILD_Dr.-Ayodele-Nzinga-.png 1169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Ayodele Nzinga reflects on creating theater for the now. \u003ccite>(screenshot courtesy of foolsFURY)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We learned something really crucial about capital… we are amazingly abundant in terms of \u003cem>relationships\u003c/em>,” remarked Dr. Ayodele Nzinga of Oakland’s Lower Bottom Playaz, who just wrapped up a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bambdfest.com\">digitally reimagined festival of their own\u003c/a>.

These subtle changes – what do they actually tell you?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erina: It’s not noticeable across two days that I take a picture of the same trashcan. I can relate it to, say, listening to the same song in different parts of my life, or across seasons. My relationship with that song and those lyrics change. And it’s same for the trashcan. There’s a lot of resilience and power in sitting and listening and watching – which my work is about. I’m not a photographer that puts out my work all the time. I’m really slow. There’s a certain timing to when I realize the relevance of a particular photo or a series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: I got to ask, how is it even possible in this day and age that you can have patience and not post a photo right after taking it? How do you hold on to the photos? How did you develop that practice?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erina: Sometimes it’s just the issue of being a packrat and realizing that, “Oh, my goodness, I have so many archives”. I think in the long term of how the impact of something that I’ll post will be understood, and how it will be perceived over time. While I do have folks who are like “Erina, where’s the picture you took of us at a community action like five years ago?” I have it. I’m learning how – as an archivist (and I do want to go to school for library sciences) – how do we take time and put grace and care and to how we tell stories.

Unlike the majority of arts grants, it is designed to cover day-to-day operating expenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grantees range from small companies like AfroSolo, which received $10,000 in GFTA funding, to major institutions like the San Francisco Opera, with its $600,000 grant. (A full list of grantees \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/08/GFTA-FY21-Grants-Final-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">can be viewed here [PDF]\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the more substantial grants have been dispersed, as usual, to the largest and most entrenched organizations, these organizations are seeing slight losses in funding this year. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s grant fell from $423,190 to $400,00 since 2019; the San Francisco Ballet’s from $428,890 to $400,000; and the San Francisco Opera’s from $680,000 to $600,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conversely, many of the smaller, equity-focused community organizations are seeing an increase in 2020. Examples include the San Francisco Juneteenth Celebration, whose grant grew from $20,000 to $25,000; Project Level, up from $7,500 to $20,000; and the Transgender Film Festival, which was bumped up from $15,000 to $18,750.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even though the total pot of money is down around $140,000 over last year, the available funds are being spread more widely, as there are seven more grantees this year. Those include the Clarion Alley Mural Project, Dancing Earth Creation, Art With Elders, the Festival of Latin American Contemporary Choreographers, Kultivate Labs, San Francisco Women Artists, and Youth Art Exchange.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Administrator Naomi Kelly says these adjustments are strategic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had a really deep dive into those organizations who tried to look at racial and ethnic equity lines in particular this year, such as the African-American community and the transgender community,” says Kelly. “We wanted to make sure that we are supporting those organizations that have been disproportionately impacted through COVID-19.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when so many cultural organizations have been forced to close their doors permanently or temporarily, or drastically reduce their operations owing to the coronavirus pandemic, such help from the city is a lifeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the only operating grant money that we receive,” says Suzanne Cervantes, founding executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.precitaeyes.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Precita Eyes Muralists\u003c/a>, a public art education nonprofit based in the Mission District. The company saw a slight increase in GFTA funding from $45,490 in 2019 to $46,350 this year. “So it makes a big difference,” adds Cervantes. “It helps pay for utilities and rent, as well as administrative costs like marketing and website management.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GFTA funding, a portion of which comes from hotel tax revenues, has been in existence since 1961. But starting in the early 2000s, owing to financial issues, the city gradually reduced its arts budget, ultimately repealing the specific allocation altogether in 2013. In 2018, San Francisco residents \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11704700/s-f-voters-say-yes-to-restoring-hotel-tax-funding-for-arts-and-culture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">approved a ballot measure, Proposition E\u003c/a>, to restore the funding. Since then, 1.5% of the base hotel tax — a 14% tax levied on hotel stays in the city — has been dedicated to supporting arts and culture programs in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But COVID-19 has left San Francisco’s hotel industry in tatters. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sftravel.com/article/san-francisco-travel-updating-tourism-projections-due-global-covid-19-pandemic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">figures released earlier this month by the San Francisco Travel Association\u003c/a>, which markets San Francisco nationally and globally as a tourism and convention destination, the number of visitors to the city are down more than 50% over last year, and their total spending has plummeted nearly 70%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arts and culture industry workers like Precita Eyes’ Cervantes are worried about what the shortfall might mean for funding in the coming years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After the 2008 recession, everyone got a cut and we were slowly able to get it back,” says Cervantes. “And now there’s a big question of if we’ll be going back to those harder times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the shrinking of hotel tax dollars won’t completely decimate GFTA funding, at least in the near-to-medium-term, thanks to a safeguard written into Proposition E.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In bad years for the hotel tax, as is the case now, we only drop by up to 10% over the previous year, and that would be the case even if hotel tax dollars dwindle to nothing,” says GFTA director Matthew Goudeau.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Goudeau says the reverse is also true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In years when the hotel tax revenues are strong and growing, our budget can only grow by up to 10% over the previous year, even if, for example, the hotel tax were to grow by something like 25%.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goudeau also says funding for each subsequent year uses the previous fiscal year as a baseline. So if the economy continues to suffer, GFTA arts funding will likely continue to fall — even if only by up to 10% each year.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those include the Clarion Alley Mural Project, Dancing Earth Creation, Art With Elders, the Festival of Latin American Contemporary Choreographers, Kultivate Labs, San Francisco Women Artists, and Youth Art Exchange.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Administrator Naomi Kelly says these adjustments are strategic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had a really deep dive into those organizations who tried to look at racial and ethnic equity lines in particular this year, such as the African-American community and the transgender community,” says Kelly. “We wanted to make sure that we are supporting those organizations that have been disproportionately impacted through COVID-19.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when so many cultural organizations have been forced to close their doors permanently or temporarily, or drastically reduce their operations owing to the coronavirus pandemic, such help from the city is a lifeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the only operating grant money that we receive,” says Suzanne Cervantes, founding executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.precitaeyes.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Precita Eyes Muralists\u003c/a>, a public art education nonprofit based in the Mission District. The company saw a slight increase in GFTA funding from $45,490 in 2019 to $46,350 this year. “So it makes a big difference,” adds Cervantes. “It helps pay for utilities and rent, as well as administrative costs like marketing and website management.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GFTA funding, a portion of which comes from hotel tax revenues, has been in existence since 1961. But starting in the early 2000s, owing to financial issues, the city gradually reduced its arts budget, ultimately repealing the specific allocation altogether in 2013. In 2018, San Francisco residents \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11704700/s-f-voters-say-yes-to-restoring-hotel-tax-funding-for-arts-and-culture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">approved a ballot measure, Proposition E\u003c/a>, to restore the funding. Since then, 1.5% of the base hotel tax — a 14% tax levied on hotel stays in the city — has been dedicated to supporting arts and culture programs in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But COVID-19 has left San Francisco’s hotel industry in tatters. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sftravel.com/article/san-francisco-travel-updating-tourism-projections-due-global-covid-19-pandemic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">figures released earlier this month by the San Francisco Travel Association\u003c/a>, which markets San Francisco nationally and globally as a tourism and convention destination, the number of visitors to the city are down more than 50% over last year, and their total spending has plummeted nearly 70%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arts and culture industry workers like Precita Eyes’ Cervantes are worried about what the shortfall might mean for funding in the coming years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After the 2008 recession, everyone got a cut and we were slowly able to get it back,” says Cervantes. “And now there’s a big question of if we’ll be going back to those harder times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the shrinking of hotel tax dollars won’t completely decimate GFTA funding, at least in the near-to-medium-term, thanks to a safeguard written into Proposition E.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In bad years for the hotel tax, as is the case now, we only drop by up to 10% over the previous year, and that would be the case even if hotel tax dollars dwindle to nothing,” says GFTA director Matthew Goudeau.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Goudeau says the reverse is also true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In years when the hotel tax revenues are strong and growing, our budget can only grow by up to 10% over the previous year, even if, for example, the hotel tax were to grow by something like 25%.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goudeau also says funding for each subsequent year uses the previous fiscal year as a baseline. So if the economy continues to suffer, GFTA arts funding will likely continue to fall — even if only by up to 10% each year.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And I’ve been doing it only with my brother and his lady so far, because I want to set the tone, so when people come in there’s a family vibe. I have this idea of how do you respect someone else’s home if you don’t already respect your own? Right and you could tie that to local Black history, since you’re dealing with an art form that has to do with the African diaspora, Black diaspora, but maybe out in Brazil, which is Americas still, but also, to know your own, like exploring your own heritage a little bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.

Like, we’re always in this rush. And like Capoeira is always going to be there for me, I love capoeira, that’s not going anywhere. So one of my goals was to do a class for Black people. And I’ve been doing it only with my brother and his lady so far, because I want to set the tone, so when people come in there’s a family vibe. I have this idea of how do you respect someone else’s home if you don’t already respect your own? Right and you could tie that to local Black history, since you’re dealing with an art form that has to do with the African diaspora, Black diaspora, but maybe out in Brazil, which is Americas still, but also, to know your own, like exploring your own heritage a little bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.
