Overview
Routinely hailed by critics for developing challenging works of theater and dance about race, culture, and identity, Intersection for the Arts almost always sells out its 75-seat home venue in San Francisco's Mission district. Of the nearly 400 artists involved in last year's programs, 70 percent were people of color. Intersection's audiences are primarily younger than forty and mirror the demographic diversity of the Bay Area.
