Greetings and thanks…

Greetings from the Ace in the Hole team. Are you passionate about the survival of the artistic, creative and maker communities in the Bay Area? Do you think it is a valuable commodity that is worth saving? Do you agree that our society gains a tremendous amount from those of us who create, curate and produce works of art and performance? Then the Ace in the Hole story has a lot in common with you.

Our team is creating a documentary film that describes these communities and explores the value of fringe creative communities. It also takes a look at what happens when they are displaced by economic development.

Discovery, creativity, and personal expression are critical components of a healthy society. We can not thrive as a culture, if we do not find a way to understand, embrace and support those members of our society who don’t fit into the mold created by the traditional art world. Ace in the hole makes a compelling case for this new way of seeing, and shows us why it is so important for communities to make space for, and to support spaces for creativity and community to thrive.
