About Us
The Lab
2948 16th St
San Francisco CA
The Lab is a catalyst for artistic experimentation. Our projects ignite critical dialogue amongst individuals, organizations, and communities. We support diverse and underserved artists, providing them with essential resources, time, and space to develop work that takes risks and pushes the boundaries of the non-profit platform. As a site of constant innovation and iteration, our programming exposes the elements of art making and transforms the creative process here and abroad.
We are W.A.G.E. Certified. W.A.G.E. Certification is a program initiated and operated by working artists that publicly recognizes non-profit arts organizations demonstrating a commitment to voluntarily paying artist fees that meet a minimum standard.
The Lab does not accept unsolicited submissions.

Splinter Reeds
Splinter Reeds—a paradigm-shifting reed quintet founded in the Bay Area in 2013 and now dispersed across the US—returns home for a bracing performance of spatialized electroacoustic work. The program includes a new composition by Hugo Morales Murguia entangling the group's woodwinds with electric fan-driven game calls, a rare full presentation of Paula Matthusen's immersive Antenna Studies (a work featured on their most recent album that incorporates FM radio transmission and sonic contributions from the audience), and Treatment V by beloved local High Frequency Resonance wizard Zachary James Watkins.
