Our Impact
At Creative Collective SF, we believe that supporting artists, musicians, and makers strengthens the cultural fabric of the Bay Area.
Since January 2025, our nonprofit has connected local creatives with performance, exhibition, and marketplace opportunities across San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, and Contra Costa counties.
By the
numbers
Creative Collective SF provides commission-free opportunities that support musicians, artists, and makers as they grow and sustain their creative careers and artistic work.
In 2025, we supported:
-
383 artists through paid creative opportunities
-
93 community events across the San Francisco Bay Area
These artists included musicians, visual artists, and makers, all benefiting from accessible, artist-centered opportunities designed to remove barriers and increase economic sustainability.
Why It Matters
The Bay Area is home to a vibrant and diverse creative community, but opportunities can be limited.
By booking talent, supporting vendors, and helping produce arts programming, Creative Collective SF ensures that local creatives are not only seen, but also compensated for their work.
Building Community
From live music showcases and comedy nights to vendor markets and arts festivals, we’ve worked with community partners to ensure local talent has the resources and opportunities they need to shine.
Every event supported means more paid gigs for the creative community, more visibility for artists, and more chances for makers to share their craft.
Looking Ahead
Our impact continues to grow through new events and partnerships, and we look forward to further supporting the creative community in collaboration with local businesses, cultural institutions, and community organizations across the Bay Area.
