S4A Artist Highlight
Spring Tide: A Mini Pop-Up Festival by Armando De La Torre

On July 30th, Armando invites residents of Southcrest to experience and participate in a mini pop-up festival celebrating their neighborhood. Armando worked closely with Martha Zapata, Director of Community Outreach for District 9 (and beloved Space 4 Art board member), to research the area’s history and choose the location for his project. During Spring Tide, Southcrest Community Park will be alive with poetry, puppetry, and music. In addition to celebrating the strengths and assets of the Southcrest community, Armando hopes Spring Tide will bring attendees from historically greater resourced areas of District 9, like Kensington and, more recently, City Heights. The mini pop-up festival is designed to “highlight the healing of generosity and sustainable environmental practices.”

Option 2: Make a Purchase
Space 4 Art is partnering with For Arts Sake Cosmetics! This San Diego County-based company sells art-inspired makeup that makes a difference. Each quarter, the company donates a percentage of its sales to a US arts nonprofit, and we're thrilled to be the recipient of their generosity for this year's Q3 (July - September, 2022)!

Head over to the company’s bright and beautiful website where you’ll find vegan, cruelty-free products inspired by all forms of art.
