The Avalon Institute strives to cultivate social and physical spaces suited to artistic and intellectual expression in the Bay Area. Our primary San Francisco venue, Avalon House, has hosted dozens of events since September 2024, ranging from poetry, to community singing, film screening and analysis, close reading groups, acted Platonic dialogues, martial arts, salons and soirees.

We are open to cohosting events with a deep intellectual or cultural focus, or as part of our field building partnerships.
