Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, SAN DIEGO UNDERGROUND ARTS will continue to provide a platform for emerging artists through our annual programs that aim to strengthen artist collaboration and foster diversity and inclusivity through creating a space where innovative work can be celebrated and discussed. While we are a grassroots organization that has always operated on fundraising and community support, we seek state level general operating funds to expand the scope of our programs which include administrative staff stipends, equipment rentals and new purchases, pay artists fees, and cover printing materials.
