The final project ARTS is facilitating for @sddesi

The final project ARTS is facilitating for @sddesignweek is the Court Arts, 101 project that is currently in process to transform the Kimball Park Basketball court that is located right next to ARTS. We are working with leaders from design studios @thisisdynamo.co, @mothersponge, and the mural painter @grand.prestoz to mentor students to completely restore this local treasure.

Its a true showcase of the power of community-building through art and design!

Another @sddesignweek project we collaborated on i

Another @sddesignweek project we collaborated on is the Walls as Windows of Reality: Cross Border Urban Art tour where you can see new murals being created in San Isidro, all on the same street, by @mrbbaby, @baby_misery, & @nestmurals, with an intervention inside the @thefrontartecultura by Carlos Galindo a.k.a. @gr.vr.

All murals can be visited, and a video on the artists’ work will also be shared inside the gallery by appointment.

Check out the SD Design Week website (link in bio) to see the interactive map of the art tour.
