SF Cultural Residency.
The Missing Link Club is the physical programming wing of Culture Slop — not a separate project but the same platform's other half. From June through August 2026, MLC activates Maiden Lane and other downtown San Francisco locations with free public programming: weekly salons, rotating exhibitions, screenings, a free art school for displaced SFAI and CCA faculty, and code-a-thons.
MLC is fiscally sponsored by the Internet Archive (501c3) and developed in partnership with Iron Horse Bar.
