The ARTSHIP mission is to offer broad access to the transforming powers of the creative process and to present new opportunities for breakthrough thinking and creative work.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, we collaborate with diverse artists, arts agencies, foundations, and other socially relevant organizations. We intend to emancipate Culture Making as a convening force in the re-creation and re-interpretation of the “Community Commons.” Our work addresses the current need to reinforce and protect the rights of people to gather and celebrate in public places .
