Balay Kreative is an organization that supports local Bay Area Filipino artists. They provide resources to their resident artists, giving them stipends, residencies, workshops, exhibition spaces, and more. Their goal is to cultivate its community, where Filipino artists have a space in the hustle and bustle of San Francisco, maintaining its thriving art scene.
