​Intersection has been a part of the cultural fabric and landscape of San Francisco for 60 years! We are seeking your partnership to help artists during a period of financial and cultural uncertainty. ⁠

Intersection makes possible the visionary work of over 145 multidisciplinary fiscally sponsored art projects. Half of our fiscally sponsored members identify as BIPOC, and 84% serve marginalized communities. Collectively, they provide vital arts programs and cultural strategies to foster change and healing.⁠

For our 60th anniversary, we invite you to help ensure that Intersection can continue to empower artists so they can meet this challenging moment with vision, power, and strength. Each year, Intersection must fundraise over half of our operating budget. Please consider supporting Intersection with a tax-deductible donation of $60 for our 60th anniversary (or whatever amount feels right for you). ⁠

This Friday, January 30th, Intersection will be closed in solidarity with those impacted by the recent events in Minneapolis and by immigration enforcement. We remain committed to the care, dignity, and collective well-being of our community. In moments like these, rest is not retreat—it is resistance. May we slow down, look out for one another, and hold our shared humanity with intention.

We’re still carrying the energy from this gathering. 💛⁠

At a significant moment for the arts, the Bay Area Arts & Culture Collaboration Summit affirmed the power of artists and culture workers and planted seeds for collaboration. Visionaries from across the sector shared their models, bright spots, challenges, and aspirations—weaving together a collective story. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of walking together at this moment, within a movement. Intersection's Executive Director, Yesenia Sanchez, presented on Fiscal Sponsorship as a shared economy business model for the arts that increases the potential for diversity, equity, collaboration, and support during these turbulent times.⁠

Deep gratitude to the brilliant speakers for generously sharing their vision and expertise: Kristen Jacobson, Anne Huang, Olivia Malabuyo Tablante, Rebecca Fitton, Gabrielle Christian, David Blazevich, Shafer Mazow, Kevin Nelson, Sarah Williams, Charlotte Wheeler, Meghan Crosby-Jolliffe, Margot Melcon, Anna Shneiderman, Zakiya Harris, Cristine Kelly, Esailama Artry-Diouf, BK Williams, Rashida Chase, Liz O’Malley, Lori Fogarty, JK Fowler, and Julie Baker.⁠

And thank you to @Oakstop for hosting us and holding space for connection and possibility.⁠

We’re excited to keep building—together.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
