The Grid, initiated by EUNIC Silicon Valley, a platform of European cultural institutes in the Bay Area, connects Art & Technology everywhere. Attend events hosted by The Grid!

Solidarity Grid!

Want to support the Bay Area independent art scene in these difficult times? Join the Solidarity Grid!, an international solidarity raiser initiated and led by The Grid. 100% of the donated proceeds will go to local artists and arts institutions.

Fehler

Simply put, a “Fehler” is a mistake, but it’s also the response to one of life’s big questions: how do we innovate and make progress? Our answer: often by mistake. Misunderstandings, faulty processors, or dead flies can unexpectedly lead to something new. Celebrate with us and peruse our zine to immerse yourself in big and little mistakes alike.
