ARTogether

ARTogether is a resource center for the Bay Area’s refugee community, providing free creative arts workshops within a setting that supports social gathering, human connection, and community-building. ARTogether strives to adapt to the special circumstances of the diverse groups that they work with, considering family, country of origin, immigration status, sexual orientation, time in the United States, and access to transportation. ARTogether partners with local organizations to develop and customize its workshops and community events, while providing financial and community support for local refugee artists. ARTogether’s activities are led by talented and passionate artists, most of whom are bilingual and belong to underrepresented groups, including women, people of color, and the queer community. ARTogether stands alone as the only creative arts program in the San Francisco Bay Area that specifically serves refugees.
