The Space Program offers 4,000 sq ft of shared studio space to a wide range of disciplines.

### Recording Studio 
The Space Program includes a state of the art recording studio designed by world renowned studio designer John Storyk, who has built recording facilities and studios for the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Jay Z and Alicia Keys among many others. The studio's recording capabilities are best suited for mixing, editing, broadcast and digital production. The live room and vocal isolation booth can accommodate solo or small bands.    

### Studio space 
The facility has 2,500 sq ft dedicated to the visual arts program, including automatic screen printing presses, darkroom with exposure units, and a variety of wood and metal-working tools.  

### Other capabilities 
The Space Program has relationships with a variety of experts in fabrication, sculpture, and technology. We're happy to explore capabilities outside of what we currently host onsite depending on project needs.    

The Space Program residents have access to a recording studio, small and large format silk-screening facilities, and wood and metal shop tools along with off-site resources in ceramics and metal fabrication.

Facilities

The Space Program is a private San Francisco-based residency, providing artists across a range of disciplines with the space, tools, and time to create.   

In a city facing rapidly diminishing commercial spaces for creative pursuits, The Space Program aims to be an oasis for artists. Our goal is to nurture and revitalize the vibrant artistic culture that has long defined San Francisco.  

The Space Program residents have access to a recording studio, screen printing facilities, a wood shop, and metal shop along with off-site resources in ceramics and metal fabrication. Residencies are project-based and invitation-only at this time.
