About Us

While the Nation waits for live performances to return, the stagehands of IATSE Local 16 San Francisco are in a nerve-wracking holding pattern. After years of working behind the scenes to benefit others, Backstage Art Aid is created to help our members weather the COVID-19 devastation to our industry.

​

Our behind-the-scenes skills are complimented by talents that are rarely seen: we have among us fine artists, craftspersons, and service providers.

Backstage Art Aid brings these hidden talents into the open, for sale to our family, friends, and neighbors. 

​

Money from gallery purchases goes directly to the individual artists, craftspeople, and service providers. A portion of each sale goes toward their Health and Welfare plan or is donated to Behind the Scenes, a non-profit that helps backstage workers in times of illness or injury.
