World Arts West, known for its leading role in producing and promoting cultural dance in the Bay Area, was among the partner organizations to co-curate the inaugural event season at the Presidio Tunnel Tops in the summer of 2022, and has played an active role in curating the 2023 season.
"On behalf of the Partnership for the Presidio, we want to express our gratitude to World Arts West for their collaboration and expertise in curating such beautiful, engaging, and inclusive programming in the park. It is wonderful to see so many communities come together to enjoy their national park at the Presidio Sunday Afternoons events and every day," says Allison Stone, director of visitor engagement at the Presidio Trust. The new Presidio Tunnel Tops site drew 1.8 million visitors in its first year alone.
"Experiencing live performances brings us together as a global community," says Anne Huang, executive director of World Arts West. "Fostering cross-cultural understanding and creating an interconnected world means presenting and producing events like the World Arts West Dance Festival in highly visible, accessible, public spaces such as the Presidio. Our partnership nurtures the transformational power of arts and culture to expand people's understanding of the world and each other, while building community at the local level."
