Creative Communities San Diego

Community Arts & Creative Spaces

Community rooted arts and cultural work that creates sustained opportunities for creativity, cultural participation, gathering, and belonging within San Diego communities. The defining feature is a sustained relationship with a community or place rather than a single public event. A project does not need to operate from a permanent facility to fit this pathway.
