About NextArts:
NextArts produces concerts in public spaces throughout San Francisco. We are a social enterprise that provides special event production services as a means to raise funds to support our concert series. In 2005, we began asking attendees to bring (new) unused items, with tag still attached for collection and redistribution to worthy charities instead of charging admission. So far we have collected over 3,200 pairs of new socks and underwear and over 2,400 units of school supplies at our concerts. All new, all with tags still attached.

Please, visit www.NextArts.org for more details.

Media Inquiries: Francis Key (415) 970-9005.
