Mission Statement
To ensure that both individual artists and community arts organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area’s Black Community in Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, Vallejo and other Citiesare empowered with the tools they need to tell their stories, and that San Francisco Bay Area Black Voices not be silenced. To achieve this we work to foster within our community, the creation and exhibition of works music, film, video, and digital arts conveying the African American personal and community experience. To encourage through training, consulting, and exhibition programs African American participation in multimedia: film/video, music/audio, and animation; create works in the media arts, and assist media artists with disabilities.
Vision Statement
Our goal for 2020 is to support black artists who live or engage in creative works within San Francisco Bay Area Black Voices, as we consider that our community underrepresented and under-served. It is our artists who represent our culture, and by supporting them, we make known to the larger culture the beauty, history, and depth of
our lives and our struggle. Our objectives (available on our website) include improved outreach to audiences and new publics; further program and service area expansion to San Francisco Bay Area Black communities in Berkeley and Vallejo revitalized and expanded art exhibition.
