THE TENDERLOIN MUSEUM
The Tenderloin Museum celebrates and preserves the history and culture of San Francisco's vibrant Tenderloin neighborhood through exhibitions, public programs, and community engagement. The Museum explores the intersection of history and art, highlighting LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized histories and community voices through walking tours, weekly programs, a permanent exhibition, and a rotating art gallery. All are welcome to be a part of this ongoing story!
NATIONAL AIDS MEMORIAL
Founded in 1991, the National AIDS Memorial is the steward of our nation’s two most notable AIDS memorials: National AIDS Memorial Grove: The nation’s sole federal memorial to AIDS, 300,000+ people visit this beautiful 10-acre landscape each year. AIDS Memorial Quilt: A 54-ton tapestry comprised of 50,000+ panels commemorating over 110,000 lives lost to AIDS. Imparting the history and lessons of AIDS—and the AIDS Movement—is at the core of everything we do, and through our iconic AIDS Memorials and inspiring programs, we seek to ensure that the story of AIDS is known by current and future generations; that they stay engaged in the fight against HIV; be inspired to advance health and social justice efforts; and embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion.
COMPTON'S CAFETERIA RIOT
The Tenderloin Museum is proud to announce the reopening of The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, an original, interactive theater piece directly inspired by the historic riot for Transgender rights. The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot is an integral piece of the Tenderloin’s identity, and this play offers a singular opportunity for audiences to celebrate the individuals whose tenacious spirit spawned a movement against the long history of discrimination and violence. Attendees will convene for a late night breakfast in our functioning replica diner, where a 12 person cast will recreate the neighborhood’s seminal act of resistance and immerse the audience in the tribulations of a marginalized community striving for survival and recognition.

MARIGOLD PROJECT
Marigold Project serves our communities by celebrating our world ancestors, creating healing spaces, and connecting us to our impermanence in One Spirit. We provide year round cultural education, art and writing workshops, altar-building skills, and environmental awareness. Our community collaborations are the heart of our work. Our educational programs are the future of our work. The annual Festival of Altars every November 2nd on Day of the Dead is the fruit of our work. Marigold Project is the only 501(c)(3) dedicated to the 3,000-year-old traditions applied to the multicultural needs in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. Our goal is to institutionalize the Day of the Dead as a holiday in San Francisco.
