What happens when social convening converges with artistic performance? You get a fabulously rich and transformative experience of people, culture, and place. At the Red Poppy Art House, we produce 140 such events annually, and we’re always looking for people to come out once or twice a month to assist. Volunteering even just once a month wins you free access to all the performances throughout the year.
Volunteer shifts include helping to set up the performance space, engaging with guests and community members, and then occupying one of two roles: handling admissions at the door (and welcoming guests as they arrive), or concessions at the counter. Each night requires two volunteers (sign up with a friend?) that join with two Poppy hosts that, together, serve to transform an ordinary evening into a spontaneous present-time exchange between artists and community/audience members. In the process, you might find your own social-cultural horizon expanding!

Location:
2698 Folsom St., San Francisco, CA 94110, US
Mission Statement
The Red Poppy Art House is a neighborhood center for the intersection of cultural and inter-generational artistic engagement located in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District. The Poppy is an artist-driven organization that seeks to empower and transform society by addressing current social issues that impact our community and society at large through creative processes.
Description
The Red Poppy Art House is a working artist studio, gallery, classroom, and performance space. We are dedicated to providing an accessible and intimate experience of the arts. We are convinced that the joy and power of the arts lay in the creative process much more than in the creative product. We are committed to bringing that process into the public light. The Art House hosts interdisciplinary arts events, collaborative exhibitions, workshops, small performances, and private parties. When it comes to an intimate experience of the arts the Red Poppy Art House is perhaps one of the most unique venues in the city. This little place (approx. 650 sq. ft.) on the corner of Folsom Street and 23rd Street in San Francisco has become a thriving center for interdisciplinary activity.
