In December 2009, Space 4 Art’s founders took a leap of faith and signed the lease for what was to become a dynamic Arts Center in downtown’s East Village. Fifteen years later, despite ever-rising rents and gentrification causing us to lose half of our space, we are still here— and still the only organization in San Diego to provide affordable artist housing and studio space.

In honor of the 15th anniversary of our essential work, please consider becoming a SpaceMaker by giving recurring donations of $15 or more for the next 12 months. If you double that anniversary gift for $30 per month, you’d basically be giving A Dollar A Day To S4A! Budgeting your money monthly makes it easier than ever to support your favorite organizations.

Anniversary Donation

At Space 4 Art, every gift is meaningful. Here are some examples of how your generous recurring anniversary gifts can accumulate:

- $15/month yields $180 annually

- $15 2x/month totals $360 annually - Almost A Dollar A Day For S4A!

- $15/week or $65/month becomes $780 annually

- $13/month adds up to $156 annually

- $10/month guarantees $120 annually

Please visit our website, where you can see examples of our work in action and make an easy online donation, whether it’s a recurring or one-time gift.

Donate

Please note the special perks above for recurring donors who stick with the $15 anniversary theme! Donors at various levels may join us in 2025 for a summer coffee social, enjoy a complimentary drink or reserved parking at Open Studios (in April, December), attend some artist talks, dine with our Executive Director, or experience a healing-arts workshop.

In addition to the above perks, the first 15 people who enroll as recurring donors of $15+ per month will receive limited-edition Space 4 Art note cards, too.

Thank you for supporting both the arts and the artmakers. We can't have one without the other!

In gratitude,

Jennifer de Poyen
Executive Director
