In 2020, Healdsburg locals Laurie and Jeff Ubben purchased the former SHED, an award-winning building that was both a restaurant and retail space. Their vision was to build upon SHED's community-minded legacy and open a farm-forward gathering place where their passions for live music and sustainability would anchor a collaborative destination.

The Ubben family brought on their longtime collaborator, Ken Fulk, as Creative Director. In addition to designing homes, restaurants, hotels, and experiences, Fulk founded San Francisco's non-profit Saint Joseph's Arts Foundation in 2018 to support the creative community and nurture a spirit of gratitude. As a spontaneous spin-off of that concept, Healdsburg's newly minted "Little Saint" would be a satellite venue for the Foundation's arts programming.

Saint Joseph's Arts Society, founded by Ken Fulk in 2018, was established to celebrate arts and culture in all forms in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
