Community Arts Stabilization Trust

Established in 2013, CAST is a community-centered real estate organization for artists and cultural workers in the San Francisco Bay Area. In deep partnership with local communities, we secure and steward affordable space. Together, we are modeling new ways of ensuring artists and cultural workers can stay anchored where they create.

We do this by applying real estate financing tools and structural models in innovative ways, building community knowledge and agency, and holding space for visioning and arts activation. Our programs and services have helped arts organizations build pathways to ownership, enabled artists to secure long-term affordable leases, and created dedicated spaces for cultural connection and exchange.

Together, we are building a new real estate paradigm in the Bay Area — one that recognizes the essential role of arts and culture and gives us all the space to dream.
