Since 1998, SFBC has offered an alternative/independent art space contributing to the cultural atmosphere of the Mission District in San Francisco. Our tradition is grounded in the value of creativity but does not deal exclusively with Buddhist art. We are interested in cultural activities and do not discriminate because of religion, gender, race, age, disability, sexual orientation or any other factor. Everyone is welcome.

Some recent arts events:

• Buddhist altar in the Day of the Dead "Festival of the Altars". November 2, 2007. (pictures TBA. )
