We are facing displacement from our current location of 9 years due to rent hikes and other non-negotiable lease terms. Our challenge comes a time where our growth has otherwise been momentous.

Your help right now is critical fuel for our community’s future and we need your support during this pivotal moment. Our goal is to raise $100K for the transition within the next few months so ASG can have a bright future in the Bay Area as a vehicle for ground-breaking multimedia and experimental works in video and installation that spark challenging conversations and create new worlds of thought. We cannot do this without you! About Aggregate Space Gallery Aggregate Space Gallery is a non-profit exhibition and performance space in West Oakland making immersive conceptual art experiences accessible to our community. ASG envisions an Oakland where artists can make and experience art in a safe space with access to production tools and hands-on guidance, creating work that fuels critical dialogue in a time when it is desperately needed. ASG is a charitable, artist-run exhibition and performance space in West Oakland that prioritizes the exhibition of artwork that generally can’t be seen elsewhere – our mantra is “Install the Unimaginable.” Address: Zspace, 450 Florida St, San Francisco, CA 94110 Email: info@aggregatespacegallery.org Website: www.aggreganatespacegallery.org Foundational Support: Aggregate Space Gallery programs are generously supported by National Endowment for the Arts, Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Neda Nobari Foundation, Creative Work Fund, Kenneth Rainin Foundation, Zellerbach Family Foundation, Clorox Foundation, Awesome Foundation, and ArtNow International. ### Location: 450 Florida St Mission District San Francisco Contact: Shaghayegh Cyrous shaghayegh@aggregatespacegallery.org URL: https://aggregatespacegallery.org/ten-forward/
