Spanish Village Art Center, Inc.
Where Creativity
Meets Community
Spanish Village Art Center is a vibrant community of working artists dedicated to preserving San Diego’s rich artistic heritage while inspiring creativity for future generations. We celebrate fine art and fine craft through collaboration, exhibitions, demonstrations, and classes that connect artists with the broader community.
Our roots date back to 1937, when artists first came together to create and share their work in Balboa Park. Since our incorporation in 1936 and again in 1981, we have continued to grow as an independent nonprofit public benefit organization—supporting artists, fostering creativity, and inspiring a lasting appreciation for the arts.

Inspiring Creativity, Empowering Futures
Created as a sister organization to Spanish Village Art Center, Inc. The Foundation was incorporated out of a deep appreciation for the many continuous years that the artists have worked to create and inspire art for the greater community of San Diego and its visitors from all over the world. We were Incorporated on January 1, 2025, as a nonprofit public benefit corporation, and received tax exempt 501c3 status from the IRS, also effective January 1, 2025. We are both excited to be in a mutually beneficial relationship with each other. We look forward to carrying out our mission.
