Support Gray Area
$46,591 of $300,000 raised
Gray Area serves a diverse network of interdisciplinary creators who defy categorization with experimental work often overlooked by traditional institutions. In 2019, Gray Area supported over 150 artists, held 95 cultural events, and welcomed 30,000 audience members to our events. Last year we paid $100,000 to artists and instructors for our events and education programs, and an additional $100,000 to local contractors supporting those programs. Our February immersive exhibition The End of You generated $40,000 paid directly to local artists, many of whom had never previously exhibited. Our community support also extends to local nonprofits and schools; in 2019 we donated $250,000 in space to 23 local organizations for their events and fundraisers.
Gray Area is a dedicated family of supporters who believe in the power of the arts to create a better world. With your donations we continue to catalyze creative action for social transformation through our globally unique arts and education programs.
Environmental Impact Through Experiential Design
Gray Area is reimagining experiential spaces as tools for understanding our relationship with the living world. This year, artists in our Experiential Space Research Lab developed an immersive exhibition encouraging planetary thinking.
Empowerment Through Creative Code Education
Through our 12-week Immersive education program, we enable students to develop artistic expression through creative code, frameworks for critical inquiry, and tools for professional development.
Connect Global Culture For Social Change
Gray Area partners with cultural organizations globally to foster international creative exchange, instigating cross-culture dialogue and social innovation.
