Advisory Committee
The purpose of the San Diego Black Arts + Culture District Advisory Committee is to connect with the community and make recommendations to SDAAMFA regarding the arts and cultural activities within the district. The Advisory Committee will develop criteria, to be used in making recommendations related to cultural programing, public art, call for artists, marketing of the district, and host various informational workshops.
The committee is comprised of residents, artists, musicians, educators, non-profits, and business and property owners. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month, 6:00 PM at the Second Chance Building located at 6145 Imperial Avenue, San Diego, CA and are open to the public.
The April 16 2024 Advisory meeting is adjourned. We encourage everyone to attend the Power of Poetry event.
