Third Space Art Collective is a group of independent artists, performers, and educators striving to further enrich the culture of our community by making the creation and exhibition of art and music accessible to people regardless of age or economic standing.
We emphasize the ideals of DIY philosophy (Do It Yourself): empowering people by providing access to tools, materials, and knowledge necessary to become active participants in their creative community. Another essential aspect of DIY is recognizing the power of creatively repurposing materials which would conventionally be perceived as waste. We also emphasize DIT philosophy (Do It Together) – which acknowledges the benefits of applying DIY ideas to a collaborative group.
Our goal is threefold: One: to maintain a space to be used as a shared and dedicated art studio for collective members. Two: to provide a space where our community members can learn and practice skills and share ideas. Three: to operate a venue where art and music are showcased.
Third Space is a California nonprofit corporation dedicated to helping artists, regardless of political affiliation, sexuality, race, gender, age, or creed, to develop their artistic passions through education and collaboration. A 'Third Space' is defined as a place apart from home (First Space) and work (Second Space) for artists to continue developing their craft. Third Space facilitates the display and performance of all artistic disciplines by providing to the community space, knowledge, and tools necessary to create.
Steady financial support, Facility suitable for hosting regular music events, theatrical productions, and other crowd generating gatherings.
Third Space strives to create an accessible space regardless of financial status, race, gender, political affiliation, or artistic experience.
