The Geneva Powerhouse is an event, exhibit, meeting, and performance arts and culture venue in the heart of San Francisco’s District 11.

Performing Arts Workshop’s mission for the Geneva Powerhouse is to foster community and increase access for the residents and workers of District 11, Lakeview, and OMI communities and to support Black, Indigenous, Queer, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Latine arts and artists in San Francisco.

Your partnership with us funds our arts programs, performances, and increases community accessibility for this cultural arts space. Through your contributions, we have been able to provide 100+ no-cost youth arts programs, both on and off-site.

Located steps from Balboa Park BART, and MUNI lines 8, 54, 43 and 49, this historic building is a beautiful canvas for your next event or gathering.
