Support San Francisco Taiko Dojo

A couple months ago, San Francisco Taiko Dojo was notified by new owners of their practice and storage facility that their monthly rent would more than double to meet market rate, which effectively evicts the organization from the current space that San Francisco Taiko Dojo has occupied for over 25 years.

Evicting San Francisco Taiko Dojo from its current space would mean the organization would have to cease operations immediately until a new practice and storage facility is procured. Taiko Dojo, like many performing arts organizations, has already been adversely impacted by the pandemic, losing class income and closing the Taiko Dojo showroom in San Francisco’s Japantown in 2020. Losing our current space could spell the end of a vital performing and cultural arts institution that has played a foundational role in giving birth to the modern taiko movement and been an anchor in the Bay Area cultural arts scene. 

Your donation will help support our moving costs as well as the first few months of rent for our potential new space.

Thank you for supporting San Francisco Taiko Dojo, and we look forward to finding a new home so that we can continue to spread the power, energy and love of taiko.
