ABOUT US

Splinter Art and Community Fund, is a 501c3 non-profit (DBA Splinter Collective, or Splinter) organization that is made up of People of the Global Majority, and LGBTQ+people.

Splinter Collective provides space for unique Arts Programming that centers our experiences and community enjoyment. With these curated events, we aim to celebrate and empower our community members to continue the fight for justice by making sure to incorporate joy, relaxation and various forms of artistic expression.

All events held at Splinter Collective are sliding scale and no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.

*Person of the global majority - PGM - is used interchangeably with Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC). Black, Indigenous and people of color represent over 80% of the world's population. This wording points out the demographic inaccuracy of the euphemism "minority".

Vision

Splinter Collective works towards a world of decolonial community care, healing, and celebration across diversity while advocating for human rights, education, and collectivized land and resources.

We believe that change happens through education, modeling, and building authentic relationships of trust across division.

Mission

Our mission is to provide an accessible, and equitable community space for intertwined liberatory art practices and social justice organizing. We focus on community events, art curation, housing justice, and providing mutual aid to the surrounding community, particularly our unsheltered neighbors. Read more about our programming below.
