The San Diego African American Museum of Fine Art (SDAAMFA) has joined forces with the San Diego NewSchool of Architecture & Design to transform an important neighbor. Together they have started the process of identifying the possibilities. Possibilities for transforming nine blocks along the Imperial Avenue corridor into a viable and responsive Arts + Culture District. This is an opportunity to engage the museum, NewSchool students, and the SD Black Arts + Culture District’s Advisory Committee members to learn what happens when design excellence intersects with art, culture and a dedicated community.
