Art Against Gentrification & Cultural Appropriation
Faith Ringgold, Anyone Can Fly, 1992 (detail)
Join us for a gathering of artists, arts educators, community organizers, curators, and business leaders from Oceanside and San Diego for a discussion about how the greater San Diego Arts community can grow and thrive without being complicit in the displacement of local residents.
