Located at the heart of San Francisco Chinatown and the first project envisioned by Chinatown Media & Arts Collaborative (CMAC), Edge on the Square at 800 Grant Ave. is a year-round contemporary art hub for activists, artists, designers, educators, entrepreneurs, scholars, and technologists. Cultivating an inventive and collaborative model for contemporary art experimentation and visitor experience, our programs will harness the energy and excitement of art and media to expand the neighborhood’s dynamic artistic and cultural diversity, as well as our understanding of our collective history and the full spectrum of American pluralism. We believe that the transformative power of art is critical to strengthening communities and catalyzing positive social change.
For 4 years, Edge on the Square ran programs on community-owned property that liberated narrative and land use. Edge on the Square supported artists and cultural practitioners across the neighborhood, and drew more than 40,000 visitors to annual festivals and exhibitions.
