The Legler Benbough Foundation, Jacobs Center of
Neighborhood Innovation (JCNI) and the San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) are
working to create a two-way cultural bridge that connects southeastern San
Diego residents and artists with Balboa Park arts institutions. The vision for the Center for Community Arts
includes innovative collaborations between arts institutions, formal and
informal arts groups, artists, residents, and local organizations; engaging new
audiences; providing work opportunities for artists; and, developing a space at
JCNI where arts and traditions from many cultures will be honored and
celebrated. Programming in this space as
well as in Balboa Park arts institutions will help to create understanding
across cultural, generational and socio-economic boundaries and foster
dialogues that examine and address social issues.
