Our Location
Located in the heart of the up-and-coming Bayview District in San Francisco, close to public transportation, easy street parking and a private parking lot. Bayview has the sunniest weather in San Francisco and is perfect for indoor/outdoor events.
Affordable Rentals
Proceeds from rentals benefit our Dare 2 Dream ARTS youth enrichment program for Bayview youth.
We offer discounts to low and moderate income artists and residents of Bayview Hunters Point, as well as to small non-profits.
COVID-19 Advisory & Re-opening Plans
As San Francisco has made good progress towards re-opening, we are planning the re-opening of the Bayview Opera House. We have been taken advantage of the closure to conduct much-needed repairs, upgrades and building maintenance. We expect this to be completed in late July. Until then our inside space remains closed.
Our outdoor space will re-open on June 19th.
Our COVID protocol will always closely align with public health guidelines for San Francisco at the time of any event. At the moment masks and social distancing are still required.

RATES
Please note that our main theatre holds 300 people and rentals for less than 100 people are generally not cost-effective. Our basic space rental rate starts at $650 for a weekday event and 6 hours of time in the space. Added to that will be equipment rentals, labor and possibly other fees, depending on event details.
Most event rentals fall between $1,000 and $3,000, but can be more for complex events requiring additional spaces, and more equipment and labor as is typical.
