If you live in Southcrest, or other D9 neighborhoods like City Heights and College Area, this event is for YOU!

Vote to Fund Space 4 Art Education Programs in District 9

We were thrilled to partner with both Crawford High School and Pro Kids, First Tee – San Diego during the 2021-2022 school year! Through these partnerships, our artists facilitated several weeks of project-based STEAM and healing arts workshops for students in San Diego City Council District 9. The workshops created space for almost 900 student interactions with S4A Teaching Artists across a variety of art forms.

Space 4 Art is currently applying for funding to continue our arts-education programs in District 9 during the upcoming school year. Council President Sean Elo-Rivera and his staff have designed a system where D9 residents can fill out a survey to help direct the grant money. If you live in District 9, please take a few minutes to fill out this three-question survey and express your support for funding K-12 arts education. You can even specifically mention Space 4 Art in one of the short-answer questions. The survey closes on Friday, July 29th.
