“Brava! For Women in the Arts Names Kim Acebo Arteche as Executive Director in Centennial Year”
October 17 Block Party and $100,000 Fundraising Goal Mark New Chapter for Local Arts Anchor

Brava! for Women in the Arts, a beloved performing arts organization and theater center in San Francisco’s Mission District, is calling on the community to support its ongoing transition and help secure a vibrant, sustainable future for local artists.

For 39 years, Brava has worked to amplify the voices of the subaltern; the overlooked and silenced. We commit to carrying this work forward and to support our community throughout this dangerous time.

We have so much GRATITUDE for all of the incredible artists (performers, teachers, technicians, designers, and creators) who have graced our stages and filled Brava Theater Center with energy and excitement!

With more resources going to pay bills, Brava needs to raise $50,000 over the summer to continue providing the highest quality of inspirational performances, support for the Artists, free and low-cost Youth Programs, and subsidies for the Community to host events at Brava.
