Founded in 1984 by interdisciplinary artists seeking a home for experimental work in San Francisco, the Lab has played a critical role in nurturing artists’ careers for decades. Housed in the century-old Redstone Labor Temple in the Mission District, The Lab gives significant funding, time, and space to traditionally underrepresented artists. The Lab is a catalyst for artistic experimentation.
The Lab
“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
