CZI Community Space Event Programming Partners

The Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation’s (RWCPAF) mission is to advocate, advance, and develop support for parks, recreational programming, community services, cultural activities, and the arts in Redwood City and surrounding unincorporated areas. Guided by its vision to be a flagship community organization, RWCPAF strives to enrich the community by supporting vibrant arts, culture, recreation, and parks. The Foundation hosts both independent and collaborative events with the City of Redwood City, creates meaningful volunteer opportunities, and prioritizes offering free and low-cost programs so that all community members can participate. RWCPAF also seeks to operate sustainably with an expanded board, dedicated staff, engaged volunteers, and strong partnerships with local, corporate, government, and community supporters.

In addition to this broader work, RWCPAF developed an Arts Programming Plan for the Chan Zuckerberg Community Space to guide ongoing creative community engagement. To implement the plan, RWCPAF collaborates with the Art Advisory Work Group, a team of community members with diverse backgrounds. The plan outlines activities such as selecting exhibition themes, choosing artwork, conducting community outreach, and hosting an annual exhibition. These exhibitions aim to showcase local artists, increase their visibility, and foster education, awareness, and community connection. Additionally, RWCPAF hosts community events, creating new opportunities for community members to engage with the arts, enjoy the space, and strengthen connections with one another.
