Organization's Mission [continued from Form 990 Page 2 Part III Line1]----------------------------------------------------------------------projects to meet the needs of low and moderate-income artists in the Bay Area.We believe that if we are successful, our efforts to preserve and support a strong innovative creative arts community can provide models and seeds that can be replicated nationally and internationally.
