Help Create a Better,
Safer World
Welcome to The 418 Project!
We are a community of communities.
We are especially focused on serving those furthest from opportunity,
to create a world where all people feel safe being together.
We are able to offer our inspiring, inclusive programming,
uplift artists, and support thousands of regional residents
from diverse communities through our fiscal sponsorships because of what you give.
We know the world feels uncertain, and it’s easy to wonder, What can I do?
The truth is, real change seldom happens because of one person alone. It happens when people come together.
In a world where voices are being silenced, we strive to uplift and amplify every voice.
When safety is threatened, we stand firm as a sanctuary of support and security.
In a time when expression is stifled, we remain steadfast in our commitment to nurture and celebrate our freedom to express.
We believe in the strength of diversity, the power of inclusion, and the importance of equity. Now, more
than ever, we stand together to protect and advance these values. Our commitment is unwavering.
Please support our artists and programming, join with us and experience the empowerment of community art.

Last Year We ...
We paid 130+ emerging artists, fueling the heart of the Santa Cruz arts scene.
Our Fiscal Sponsorship program created over $200,000 in financial support for local
and regional artists and their projects, impacting thousands of residents.
We paid off our building! We’re here to stay. With so many arts organizations being displaced in recent
years, we’re so grateful to have locked in our forever home so we can better support for years to come.
