#givingtuesday Artist Space Trust is grateful to our current donors--both individual & institutional--that are allowing us to build an affordable foundation for the Bay Area’s artists & culture-bearers. Our first two properties are coming to us as bequests from elder artists. With more in the works, every day our hope for and trust in our community drives us forward. This is mutual aid! If you would like to get involved by becoming a financial or property donor, please follow the link in our bio, or reach out to AST Director Meg Shiffler. #artistsforartists #mutualaid #affordablehousing #supportartists #sfbayarea

AST secures permanently affordable spaces for artists to live and work. A program of Vital Arts + Northern CA Land Trust
About us
Artist Space Trust (AST) is an innovative national model for equitably securing permanently affordable artist housing and creative space. Utilizing methods developed by the community land trust movement, AST will facilitate an intergenerational transfer of property to prevent losses for future generations locked out by market forces. Artist Space Trust grew from the shared commitment of Vital Arts and the Northern California Community Land Trust (NCLT) to stem the displacement of artists economically vulnerable to rising real estate costs. We believe that community control and ownership are necessary to ensure that local artists have access to safe, affordable spaces to live, create, and share their work.

The Housing California conference last week was incredible! 🎨 As a newly established Community Land Trust dedicated to preserving artist housing in the Bay Area, it was a great opportunity to expand our knowledge and gain insight into how fellow solution-focused advocates are working to establish secure and sustainable housing for all Californians. It was a joy to share the experience with a wide network and also our parent orgs Vital Arts and The Northern California Land Trust. The sense of unity and collaboration was inspiring, particularly on discussions centering on preservation models and uplifting & empowering community voices with lived experience. Feeling grateful for the opportunity to connect with practitioners from all corners of the state, united in our mission for affordable housing. The feeling of coming together with like-minded individuals was truly uplifting! #HousingCalifornia #ArtistHousing #FairHousing #ArtistHousing #CommunityLandTrust #AffordableHousing #CreativeCommunity
