Affordable Artist Studios
Space 4 Art offers both live/work and work-only spaces at our East Village location. Our rental rates are about half of local averages for residential and commercial space.
Arts Education
Space 4 Art offers our artists paid opportunities to teach project-based STEAM (STEM + Arts) education workshops for all ages– in local schools, youth organizations, and the community.
Events
At Space 4 Art, we seek to increase public access to the arts by offering free art experiences for the people of San Diego. We invite you to join us at an upcoming event.
Support our Art Center
Designed to provide affordable live and work spaces for artists, free educational outreach for underserved students, and public gathering spaces for cultural experiences, Space 4 Art is a creative hub filling an urgent need in San Diego— especially in underserved communities close to the city center.
