Three Thirty Three Arts

What Three Thirty Three Arts does

Three Thirty Three Arts is a Bay Area 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 85-3911024), headquartered at 712 Bancroft Rd., #278, Walnut Creek, California. Originated in 2015 as Dragon School with a mission to add public artwork to Oakland's Chinatown, the organization rebranded in 2020 to Three Thirty Three Arts to broaden its reach while preserving the community-art model. The organization is volunteer-run, with 1–10 employees, led by co-founders Sage Loring (CEO) and Tari K. Loring (COO), supported by a Partnerships & Community Relations lead, an Advisory Committee member, and a contributing-artist bench that includes Hyde, Urban Aztec, Vogue, Carmynn Zhang, Luke Dragon, and David Cho.

The core offering is a portfolio of four interconnected community-centered public-art programs: Community Art Projects (large-scale mural creation engaging local volunteers), Art Jams (free, open-to-the-public group painting sessions led by a featured artist), The Art of Being You Campaign (youth mental-wellness program engaging high-school students to design and paint campus murals with QR codes linking to mental-health resources, priced at approximately $10,000 per campus), and Special Projects (commissioned corporate and municipal work). A fifth initiative, the Great Elephant Migration Exhibit, is a touring installation of 30 life-size Indian elephant sculptures made from invasive lantana weed, scheduled for Downtown Livermore in October–November 2026 as the only West Coast stop. Technology footprint is intentionally light — no app, no API, no SDK, and no disclosed integrations; the "platform" is the volunteer-and-artist production network rather than software.

The revenue model combines individual and business donations (via PayPal, mail, and employer matching), private commissioned work from businesses and municipalities (e.g., Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, Brenden Mann Foundation, Square H.Q., Claremont Club & Spa, Samuel Merritt University), and occasional grants. Customer segments span municipalities (City of Oakland, Concord, Lafayette), high schools, healthcare/nonprofits, enterprise hospitality, and technology companies, with an operational footprint across Oakland, Alameda, Vallejo, Mare Island, Concord, Walnut Creek, El Cerrito, Lafayette, Berkeley, Modesto, and Livermore.
