ABOUT THE VENUE

 

Proxy is a two-block project located in San Francisco which seeks to mobilize a flexible environment of art, culture, and retail within renovated shipping containers. Their design embraces the vast diversity of a city and encourages the rotation of new ideas.


Proxy Walk-In Theater is an outdoor venue, so make sure to dress warm! Proxy has a select number of tables to sit at, also guests are allowed to bring camp chairs or blankets to sit on.


Tickets are free, and because Proxy acts as a community space, there is no official ticket check-in area. Guests are free to come and go as they please, however we ask that you respect the filmmakers and other guests by being aware of your surroundings and courteous to one another.


The Hayes Valley neighborhood has a number of great food and drink options for before and after the films. There's also an ice cream shop right next to the venue.

Arc'teryx x All Rise Clinics

We will be hosting climbing clinics prior to the pre-party from 8PM-9PM led by Arc'teryx Athletes and Ambassadors with very limited spots open. Jordan Cannon will be leading an Advanced bouldering footwork class, Mercotti Sanders will be leading an Intro to Bouldering class and Mike Manuel will be leading an Intro to Top Rope class.

 

 

Jordan Cannon

Arc'teryx

Global Athlete


Jordan’s love and appreciation for climbing spawns from the true freedom he has found through the sport. Jordan is revered by his elders for his work ethic and respect for climbing. His strength lies in his clean classic style, courteous temperament and meticulous packing. If you ever get a chance to climb with Jordan, know that he will happily wait for you if you are slow, but you better have your bag packed the night before.

Mercotti Sanders

Arc'teryx La Brea Ambassador


Broker Garden

All RISE FESTIVAL

Arc'teryx has partnered with BrainDead and Long Beach Rising to host All Rise Festival.

A day long celebration of the outdoors with an emphasis on inclusion and accessibility. Our goal is to reimagine the traditional climbing competition by creating an event that highlights climbers of all skill levels and backgrounds. Our day festival will feature national and local climbers as well as a variety of musicians, DJs, and prominent outdoor figures.


At it’s core, this event will be about giving back. All money raised through ticket sales, raffle tickets, and donations will go towards a handful of charity organizations that are focused on bridging socioeconomic gaps.
