Qbox

QBOX was founded by Charles Gadeken in 1998 as BurningART Presents. From 1998 through 2001, we produced over two dozen live events, several full-length documentaries, and a number of short programs which were broadcast both on local television and on the Web. Our events have featured prominent figures in the local art community, received many favor... able reviews, established a solid patron base, and generated substantial income for Bay Area artists. In December 2001, recognizing the community's growing need for performance space, as well as the need for broader promotion of mechanical, kinetic and electronic art, we took steps to increase our capacity to fulfill these needs. We officially attained non-profit status via fiscal sponsorship from SomARTS, changed our name to QBOX, and developed plans for expanded operations - including regularly scheduled year-round programming, an annual festival, a dedicated staff, and our own community arts facility. In its first few months, QBOX had already produced an SRL show, and lined up artists and venues for events spanning half a year. We are still going strong.Read More
