How the Center came to be:


The brain-child of Clove Galilee and Jenny Rogers (the dynamic duo behind the NY theater company Trick Saddle), The Center for New Work is a multi-venue roving institute for the development and presentation of cutting edge performance and visual art. Started in 2016, the Center was created to fulfill the need for artistic support, intellectual exchange, and Arts Residencies in the Bay Area. Our hope is that the Center will help struggling artists who want to live and make work here. It is essential to support artists in the Bay Area now— at a time when the NEA is under attack and creative thinking, strategic partnerships and innovation in the arts is essential to our survival. We believe the increased pressure to make commercially successful work in such an expensive place squelches artists' ability to innovate, experiment and explore. We want to create a new paradigm.
