Sanctuarey.org is built on a simple premise: every voice belongs. Our mission is to create a civic cultural space where all people—marginalized or not—are welcomed into shared creative dialogue.

We believe that genuine community transformation happens not only when underrepresented voices are uplifted, but when they are heard in conversation with neighbors whose experiences differ from their own.

We design our programs so that participation is not limited by identity, income, or experience level. This approach builds bridges across difference, strengthens social cohesion, and reinforces the City’s vision of San Francisco as a place where creativity is a shared civic resource.

Through performances, story circles, and community-devised works, Sanctuarey.org creates environments where people do more than “have a platform”—they feel seen, connected, and in relationship.

In a moment when isolation and polarization threaten our local cultural fabric, we offer experiences that invite people into authenticity, creativity and awareness; Sanctuarey is a space built by, and for, all of us.

Sanctuarey.org fosters a creative space where every voice belongs. Rather than centering only one group, we cultivate shared artistic experiences across lines of identity, class, and background.

Our programs invite all San Franciscans to participate, create, and connect. This radically inclusive approach strengthens civic belonging, reduces isolation, and supports the City’s vision of culture as a public good accessible to everyone.
