About Art Space Development Corporation

Art Space Development Corporation (ASDC, also branded ArtsDECO) is a San Francisco 501(c)(3) nonprofit that develops, owns, and manages affordable live/work and studio space for working artists in the Bay Area. The organization's EIN (94-2832487) has been confirmed in public nonprofit registries and recent Form 990 filings.

ASDC operates and stewards properties and cultural facilities such as the Pacific Felt Factory arts complex and the Goodman 2 affordable live/work lofts, and supports small arts organizations and presenting programs (including tenants and partners at Potrero Stage). Over the past 2–3 years the organization has continued to provide below-market-rate studio and exhibition space, host community programming, and manage artist housing despite a challenging local real estate environment.

ASDC functions primarily as a property steward and arts-space manager rather than as a large grantmaker or service provider; its core impact is preservation and operation of physical arts spaces that enable working artists to live and practice in San Francisco.
