Previous Artists

NextArts presents outdoor concerts annually in San Francisco Parks. In 2005, we began asking attendees to bring (new) unused items, with tag still attached for collection and redistribution to worthy charities instead of gated admission. So far we have collected over 3,200 pairs of new socks and underwear and over 2,400 units of school supplies. All new, all with tags still attached.

In 2008 NextArts will celebrate community, nature, and the arts at Jerry Garcia Amphitheater. The Amphitheater is located in McLaren Park, a 317-acre urban oasis, in perhaps, San Francisco's most beautiful and unique natural setting.

We hope you join us under the stars!
