The LAB, located in San Francisco's historic Redstone Building, is a not-for-profit arts organization and performance space founded in 1984.
The Lab "supports interdisciplinary artists in the development and exhibition of new visual, media, literary, and performing art, with a focus on emerging and established experimental artists whose work crosses material, cultural and presentational boundaries and encourages new artistic and social dialogue between artists and audiences."
The LAB hosts 2 visual and 2 performing artist residencies per year in their main space, commingled with a full year of programming including exhibitions, performances, workshops and panels.

Famous quotes related to the lab:
“For myself I found that the occupation of a day-laborer was the most independent of any, especially as it required only thirty or forty days in a year to support one. The laborer’s day ends with the going down of the sun, and he is then free to devote himself to his chosen pursuit, independent of his labor; but his employer, who speculates from month to month, has no respite from one end of the year to the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
