While hopeful that GFTA will get agreements and payments out to people as soon as possible, Walsh wrote, “Funding delays do put a strain on our operating budget, since we use funding for fixed costs, including rent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the arts administrators KQED reached out to for this article would not go on the record about their experiences. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The pandemic is still going on,” says Thomas of San Francisco Center for the Book. “There’s no more Paycheck Protection Program, there’s no more of this other funding.

The organization is funneling cancellation fees to event staff. SOMArts is so far losing $20,000 due to cancellations, and expects the number to grow to $100,000, or 30% of projected annual rental revenue.

Renae Moua, 28, was contracted with SOMArts as an interim community engagement and impact manager through May, but they were let go after the fundraiser cancellation. “I don’t know what to do,” Moua said. “Housing and basic necessities like food are at the forefront of my worries.” (A SOMArts spokesperson said Moua’s healthcare coverage has been extended for two additional months.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most performing arts organizations are encouraging ticket holders to donate the ticket cost, while many others have launched online fundraisers.

Some major institutions, such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, are currently paying regular wages to employees working remotely as well as most frontline staff, such as ticket takers, who cannot report to work. Yet even the San Francisco Symphony reported that it is considering hiring freezes and layoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contractors, though, such as audio-visual technicians and other event workers, have been the first to miss expected paychecks.

The organization is funneling cancellation fees to event staff. SOMArts is so far losing $20,000 due to cancellations, and expects the number to grow to $100,000, or 30% of projected annual rental revenue. Its annual spring fundraiser event, which last year brought in more than $20,000, is also cancelled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In notoriously costly San Francisco, many arts workers lack savings. Renae Moua, 28, was contracted with SOMArts as an interim community engagement and impact manager through May, but they were let go after the fundraiser cancellation. “I don’t know what to do,” Moua said. “Housing and basic necessities like food are at the forefront of my worries.” (A SOMArts spokesperson said Moua’s healthcare coverage has been extended for two additional months.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most performing arts organizations are encouraging ticket holders to donate the ticket cost, while many others have launched online fundraisers. Gray Area, which restored and operates the Mission District’s Grand Theater, derives 75% of its revenue from rentals and tickets, and stands to lose $350,000. The lapse in programming, executive director Barry Threw said in a letter soliciting contributions to its $300,000 crowdfunding campaign, is an existential threat to the organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many write-in comments on the survey describe pivots to digital programming and pledges to pay employees during the closures. Others are more grim. One large museum wrote: “Looking for funds to keep the organization going.” A performing arts group explained: “Without programming we have no income revenue to pay our teaching artists and facility staff. They are currently NOT being paid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And an indie musician wrote one word in an other personnel decisions column: “Cry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/arts/13877348/survey-sf-arts-groups-expect-73-million-in-losses-during-coronavirus-crisis","authors":["11091"],"categories":["arts_966","arts_69","arts_235","arts_967","arts_70"],"tags":["arts_3560","arts_1018","arts_11014","arts_10278","arts_10422","arts_1766","arts_746","arts_596","arts_1381","arts_2207","arts_1955"],"featImg":"arts_13876911","label":"arts"},"arts_13862121":{"type":"posts","id":"arts_13862121","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"arts","id":"13862121","score":null,"sort":[1564078738000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"the-do-list-listen-to-our-weekend-picks-for-july-25-aug-2","title":"The Do List: Listen to Our Weekend Picks for July 25–Aug. 2","publishDate":1564078738,"format":"audio","headTitle":"The Do List: Listen to Our Weekend Picks for July 25–Aug. 2 | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":140,"site":"arts"},"content":"\u003cp>It’s time for the weekend!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking for things to do in the Bay Area?

At Bimbo’s, producer “Mad” Mike Banks expertly set the pace on his synth and then floated away like an apparition, leaving space for the large ensemble to do its thing. Bassist William Pope grooved with a huge smile on his face, his fingers seemingly moving a hundred miles a minute. Saxophonist DeSean Jones likely caused more than a few show-goers to speculate about his superhuman lung capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times, Galaxy 2 Galaxy’s performance felt like an organic jazz jam session, but when Banks and the DJ Skurge, who was behind the turntables, returned to the stage periodically, the show turned back into a rave. The potent musical alchemy on stage was an unmistakable reminder of the black roots of both jazz and techno — and how African-American musicians have been on the cutting edge of both for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13831311\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13831311\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-800x558.jpg\" alt=\"Michela Pelusio performs night two of the 2018 Mutek SF Festival.\" width=\"800\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-800x558.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-768x536.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-1020x711.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-1200x837.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-1180x823.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-960x670.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-375x262.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-520x363.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890.jpg 1835w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michela Pelusio performs on May 4 at Herbst Theatre for the 2018 Mutek festival. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Michela Pelusio Made Magic With Spinning Rope\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audience was immersed in total darkness when Michela Pelusio took the stage at Herbst Theatre on Friday night.

At Bimbo’s, producer “Mad” Mike Banks expertly set the pace on his synth and then floated away like an apparition, leaving space for the large ensemble to do its thing. Bassist William Pope grooved with a huge smile on his face, his fingers seemingly moving a hundred miles a minute. Saxophonist DeSean Jones likely caused more than a few show-goers to speculate about his superhuman lung capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At times, Galaxy 2 Galaxy’s performance felt like an organic jazz jam session, but when Banks and the DJ Skurge, who was behind the turntables, returned to the stage periodically, the show turned back into a rave. The potent musical alchemy on stage was an unmistakable reminder of the black roots of both jazz and techno — and how African-American musicians have been on the cutting edge of both for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13831311\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13831311\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-800x558.jpg\" alt=\"Michela Pelusio performs night two of the 2018 Mutek SF Festival.\" width=\"800\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-800x558.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-768x536.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-1020x711.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-1200x837.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-1180x823.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-960x670.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-375x262.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890-520x363.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/MG_7890.jpg 1835w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michela Pelusio performs on May 4 at Herbst Theatre for the 2018 Mutek festival. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Michela Pelusio Made Magic With Spinning Rope\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audience was immersed in total darkness when Michela Pelusio took the stage at Herbst Theatre on Friday night.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
