Million Fishes is an incubating program for emerging artists of visual art, film making, choreography / dance, music, conceptual art, new media, interactive art, interarts, and writing to build the tools necessary to establish themselves as contributors of art.

Million Fishes empowers artists by creating an environment for them to create, critique, present, teach, and develop concepts and skills involved in producing art and sharing it with others.

Through presenting and making accessible new emerging artwork and ongoing projects as a result of this program, Million Fishes becomes a resource to local communities in the Mission District and the diverse, extended communities of our resident artists.

Million Fishes offers to its resident artists many resources, including: studio spaces, dark room, dance studio, music rehearsal space, computer lab, wood shop, living quarters, recording studio, and many gallery spaces. Numerous presentation opportunities for resident and outside artists of all disciplines are also available through Million Fishes in the form of individual and group shows in our window galleries, open studios, cellar gallery, and main gallery and participation events like the MAPP: Mission Arts and Performance Project.

Ongoing projects include: an artist-in-residence program, community yoga classes, a bi-weekly writer's workshop, and a bi-weekly music composers group, formal and informal art critique sessions, and skill building workshops.

In support of the Interarts Project, Million Fishes has offered free rehearsal space, valuable critique sessions, ensemble members, technical support and equipment, stage design, publicity, performance opportunities, and exposure. With this support, the Interarts Project has been able to establish themselves as a contributor to the Bay Area arts scene, perform for many people, and connect with many great arts venues and projects and will continue to grow in the future.

Million Fishes is a Member of the Intersection Incubator, a program of Intersection for the Arts providing fiscal sponsorship, incubation and consulting services to artists. Intersection is San Francisco's oldest alternative arts space, presenting groundbreaking works in the literary, performing, visual, and interdisciplinary arts. Visit www.theintersection.org.
