Bisemi is dedicated to the artistic practices of African and African Diaspora culture. Our goal is to help cultural artists connect with one another in the Oakland area, nationally, and internationally.

We strive to be a place where artists can come and learn from one another. In addition, we provide a number of mentoring programs and grants that are designed to give recipients the tools to thrive.

Check here for stories featuring our current cultural artists. We believe that through music, dance and other art forms, we can preserve and share the beauty of culture arts for all to experience.

Help us continue to grow and share our culture by donating today. We are proud to offer a variety of programs to our many talented artists, but we can’t do it alone. Find out how you can make an impact for our cause here.
