Just for context, we are a small budgeted, poorly funded 501c3 on profit with a budget of under $50,000 a year. As you check out our work on this website you may wonder how we achieved producing over 100 events a year with this? Power of Community. It starts with you. Our Mission.

Value Culture’s

Artist in Residences

Value Culture partnered with SF Heritage on the third artist in residence at the historic Doolan-Larson home at the corner of Haight and Ashbury streets in June and July 2021. Jimmie Fails moved into the residence of Benefactor Norm Larson who died and left it in the care of San Francisco Heritage.

Best known as the lead actor in The Last Black Man of San Francisco, Jimmie Fails utilized the three residential levels landmark to create.

Previous artists in residence were local favorite artist Jeremy Fish and composer Ben Juodvalkis from Joe Goode Performance Group. 

The 1903 building is best known for its place in the cultural revolution of the '60s, at the intersection of Haight and Ashbury. Legend has it Janis Joplin roller skated in the addict while her girlfriend Peggy Caserta sold clothes to bands like the Grateful Dead in the storefront below.

“It’s places like [the Doolan-Larson Residence] that spark my creativity and keep me inspired to make art. As a San Franciscan, I am truly honored to take on this residency." -Jimmie Fails

Behind The Boards

_K0A0814.jpg

Value Culture has partnered with Filterless and Rocking California to create meaningful art for boarded up businesses that tells a story of what's behind the boards.

https://www.behindtheboards.us/

This subject of the mural is the staff of Zuni Cafe, photography by Misha Vladimirskiy

It went up June 30th, 2020 on Zuni Cafe by an awesome team and crew who truly cares. Are you a boarded up business who needs meaningful art? Reach out.

What does our Zuni mural say?

"Thank you, restaurant workers. Restaurants are more than just the food that they serve — they are places we go for human connection. While the promise of delicious food might draw us to a restaurant, more often than not it is the feeling of being taken care of that keeps us coming back time and time again.We want to celebrate the restaurant workers who take care of us: the chefs, servers, hosts, bartenders, bussers, and owners who welcome and feed us as if we are in their own homes. These photographs spotlight some of the people who make Zuni Café the legendary San Francisco institution that it is.Consider supporting them and other San Francisco restaurant workers by donating to SF New Deal"

Donate

Yes, sadly, we do need to ask you for money. Culture isn’t free. We need to pay people and artists for their work, we need supplies, we have start up costs, we have fees, we want to build and scale up. You’ll see the return in your cultural environment, for many causes, and in the spirit of people you come across. How much do you Value Culture?
