“Intersection doesn’t just provide us with the logistical support for accounting and grant management, they keep us connected with other arts organizations in our community so that we can all work together make sure the arts are valued in San Francisco and the Bay Area.”

Todd Berman

“Through the support of Intersection, I’ve received numerous grants for my creative work and curatorial projects. These grants have also enabled me to support collaborating artists, thus spreading the support to the larger arts community. I’m grateful for Intersection in helping me make my dreams and aspirations real.”

We've been going through our archive for a special upcoming project! In 1966 Intersection for the Arts' moved to St. John’s Methodist Church at 756 Union in North Beach. The church was a cultural hub in the underground arts scene. To set the scene, here is a quote from Robert Johnson, IFTA' director from '66 - '69: “...It had been an active church, but the attendance was so bad they closed it. The Methodist Church said Intersection could have it for a dollar a year. I took the pews out and got seats from the old Surf Theater. We turned the lower level social hall into a coffeehouse. We had art exhibits there. We built a light-projection booth for Canyon Cinema. In the sanctuary they showed experimental films—short, personal films by artists like Bruce Conner. There were poetry readings: Ferlinghetti, Michael McClure, Kenneth Rexroth, Josephine Miles. We had wonderful plays like “Slow Dance on the Killing Ground.” There were so many programs going on simultaneously.”Stay tuned for more gems from IFTA's rich legacy. ... See MoreSee Less
