Overview
In 2010, the Performing Arts Program contracted with Fractured Atlas Productions to create a map of Bay Area cultural assets. Bay Area Performing Arts Spaces (BAPAS), an online marketplace that helps artists and organizations find available space for performance and rehearsal rentals, was developed as a discrete component of this larger mapping project. Hewlett Foundation grantees Dancers Group and Theatre Bay Area (also on this docket) partnered with Fractured Atlas during the initial two-year pilot and are now poised to continue ongoing local management of BAPAS. The partners will collaborate to create and implement a marketing and communications plan for BAPAS, increase user traffic to the site, and continue to provide local customer service.
