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.
