Our participants come from a range of backgrounds and each represent a wealth of connections that allow for a very active link between PM and the beating pulse of SF’s culture and energy. In the past, our efforts in building exposure for the collective have been greatly accommodated by people who believe in us and our mission. PM events have been held in a variety of venues around San Francisco, each with the flavor and space that complement the event itself. These venues have ranged from the newest and biggest nightclub spaces like Mighty and Ruby Skye; to established bastions of city culture like 1015 Folsom, EndUp, and The Independent; to intimate and comfortable bar/restaurants like Soluna Cafe & Lounge; and to friendly and favored neighborhood gathering spots like The Monkey Club. At each of these venues, we strive to introduce and practice the multi-faceted yet symbiotic nature of Pink Mammoth, by bringing together all the elements that our participants offer – sculptures, paintings, live-event work, experimental designs, live percussion and vocals that accompany our resident DJs, as well as providing our own hosts and greeters.

Pink Mammoth also builds and hosts a camp at Burning Man, the 60,000 person music and arts festival held annually in the Nevada desert. Much of PM’s roots lie in the radically uninhibited nature of the Burning Man festival, and we maintain strong ties with the Burning Man community as a whole. PM also participated in Love Parade SF, the first American iteration of the massive Berlin-based music festival, by building a float for the parade and co-hosting the Opel/Spundae After-Party and Kelly’s Mission Rock.

Our primary artist’s studio is extremely well-equipped and comprehensive, housing a range of top-of-the-line hard and soft production gear. The studio acts as meeting ground for tremendous creative talent, encouraging close collaboration with musicians and producers, and serves as yet another extension of our core desire to facilitate and nurture creative connection.

Every penny of income that PM receives through activities goes directly to supporting our infrastructure, to acquiring and maintaining the equipment our participants need, and to constantly generating awareness and recognition of our mission. Both our executive director and managing director have strong backgrounds in finance and business, and are extremely focused on ensuring the long-term viability of Pink Mammoth and its constituents. Although PM was initially financially supported by its founders, the success of our events have allowed us to become a self-sustaining enterprise.
