Founded in San Francisco in 1984, Artists’ Television Access has persisted as an artist-run, non-profit organization for emerging, experimental, weird, and challenging moving-image work for over thirty-five years, fostering a supportive community for the exhibition of innovative art and the exchange of non-conformist ideas. It provides an accessible screening venue and gallery for the presentation of programmed and guest-curated screenings, exhibitions, performances, workshops and events.

“Our granting program recognizes the equal importance of small, community-oriented spaces, major museums, and everything in between. Together, and with the foundation’s support, they work to collectively amplify the voices and visions of artists, which deepens and diversifies the national cultural discourse.”
