Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, San Diego Made will continue our “My Creative Journey” | “Mi Viaje Creativo” artist residency initiative through a sixth residency serving San Diego’s Promise Zone communities during the FY26 grant activity period. Building on five successfully implemented residencies, including four funded through the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and one currently supported by a California Arts Council Impact Grant, the project will provide one local artist with free studio space, a living wage stipend, mentorship, and organizational support to develop community centered programming. The artist will lead free bilingual and ADA accessible workshops, artist talks, youth engagement activities, open studio hours, and a culminating exhibition supporting creative entrepreneurship, cultural preservation, and equitable access to arts opportunities.

San Diego Made is an artist-led creative hub that drives social, cultural, and economic opportunities for artists, small businesses, and organizations throughout the region.
We’re building a creative ecosystem that equips community members with the resources, support, and connections they need in order to build thriving futures. At our headquarters at the Factory in Logan Heights, our community has access to 12,000 sq. ft. of inspiring studio spaces, event facilities, and exhibition areas where people can hone their craft and showcase their work in a bold, welcoming environment.
Through our public programming, artist residencies, and signature maker’s markets, we create immersive experiences that bring creatives and community together—fostering dialogue, sparking collaboration, and promoting meaningful engagement with the arts.
