The Lab is a catalyst for artistic experimentation. Our projects ignite critical dialogue amongst individuals, organizations, and communities. We support diverse and underserved artists, providing them with essential resources, time, and space to develop work that takes risks and pushes the boundaries of the non-profit platform. As a site of constant innovation and iteration, our programming exposes the elements of art making and transforms the creative process here and abroad.

We are W.A.G.E. Certified. W.A.G.E. Certification is a program initiated and operated by working artists that publicly recognizes non-profit arts organizations demonstrating a commitment to voluntarily paying artist fees that meet a minimum standard.

The Lab does not accept unsolicited submissions.

Founded in 1984 as “Co-LAB” with a theater at 1805 and gallery at 1807 Divisadero in San Francisco, what we now know as The Lab celebrates 40 years of its history and honors artist Pamela Z, an integral part of The Lab’s artistic community. Starting in the 1980s, Z launched a series of interdisciplinary “Z Programs” beginning at The Lab, ran a “SoundLAB” workshop series providing artists access to digital audio workstations, and performed many times in various configurations.

We’ll also be displaying some pieces of our extensive poster and documentation archive, and revealing our plans for renovation of the historic San Francisco Labor Temple Main Auditorium in the wake of securing 12 years of lease stability at the Redstone Building, where The Lab has been since 1995.

Proceeds from this event benefit The Lab’s ongoing programming, as well as our expansion and restoration of our historic space in the Redstone Building.
