SPLINTER ART AND COMMUNITY FUND

We center the voices and artistic visions of marginalized communities and art geared towards social change. We are thrilled to include and support in particular LGBTQIA+ artists, women artists, disabled artists, BIPOC artists, border artists, our unsheltered neighbors, and other community groups.

Some of our monthly & annual events include:

Interrupted by Trains, a spoken word event that is sometimes interrupted by loud trains because we are directly next to the tracks.

All Black Everything, a yearly festival celebrating Black joy

Queeraoke, yes, very gay karaoke

to name a few.

We practice radical hospitality by offering subsidized rent to certain community events and benefits. We reinvest into improving the space to be more inclusive and accessible and paying our staff a living wage. We will always put people before capital, and planet before profit. We believe in the radical redistribution of goods and care. We have a free store in front of the property, come bring things and take things! Splinter actively organizes with, builds community with, and employs folks living outside and in nearby encampments to build collective power and assert that housing is a human right.
