Overview
Brava! for Women in the Arts produces, presents, and cultivates the artistic expression of women, people of color, youth, LGBTQ, and other under-represented voices at its historic facility in the Mission District. The growing rentals program, making the facility accessible to its key constituents, in addition to its eight-project season reaches over 25,000 audience members annually and provides arts education and job training programs for youth. Renewed support would bolster the organization’s ability to continue building its staff capacity and raising funds to complete the renovation of its home, the Brava Theater Center.
