Z Space is a cosmos of unique artists and interconnected communities who have been taking artistic risks in the Bay Area for eons—now in our beautiful home at Project Artaud. We are so blessed to have in our orbit amazing partner organizations, independent artists, producers, dancers, musicians, writers, designers, and of course our resident performance company Word for Word. But our universe would not continue to expand if it weren’t for audiences and supporters, like you.

We are so excited to celebrate our 30th birthday with a space-themed birthday benefit in support of Z Space and Word for Word. Come celebrate the last 30 years and raise a glass to the next 30 as we reveal our plans for the future at Z.

Featuring exciting performances by rock musical legends The Kilbanes, the Word for Word Core Company, comedian Baruch Porras-Hernandez, aerial artists Danielle Sandia Sexton and Helen Wicks, palm reader Michaela the Mystical, and of course our fabulous MC and resident clown – Sara Toby Moore.
