BlacSpace Cooperative is an early-stage cooperative based in Oakland, that leverages the Black Arts Movement tradition to build a supportive ecosystem where Black arts, business, ownership, and culture can thrive. The vision of BlacSpace is to build a networked infrastructure of programming, cooperative business practice, democratic governance, and a city-wide marketing plan that sustains a network of cultural spaces throughout Oakland. Through the 2020 Grant & Loan Fund for Early-Stage Arts, Creative, and Cultural Cooperatives, AmbitioUS is providing BlacSpace Cooperative with a one-year general operating support grant and technical assistance from Uptima Entrepreneur Cooperative.
