Since 1989, African American ART & CULTURE Complex has been committed to empowering our youth, promoting the work of emerging local artists, and serving as a vital resource for residents and visitors alike. Located in the heart of San Francisco – in the city’s historic Jazz Preservation District – our facility encompasses 30,000 square feet of community arts space. It includes a 203-seat theatre, an art gallery, several unique meeting spaces, dance studios, a recording studio, a multi-use space and a large parking lot. In 2009, hundreds of community members and leaders joined the organization in celebrating the completion of a $1.5 million renovation of our facility.
 

As Banneker residents we live in the "Heart of the City". Knowing what is happening day by day is a must! Take a moment to view the SF Station as it is the San Francisco Bay Area's definitive online city guide to Arts & Culture, Entertainment, Food, Shopping, and Urban Living for 18 - 45 and just the young at heart.
