We went to this one because it was relatively close to all of us. It's a small venue. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and the play was entertaining and funny. The cast were all great and they stayed in the hallway afterwards to personally thank each person who came. It was a great experience and I left really feeling like I had seen something special.

If you're looking for a genuine 'arts' experience, look no further. Real artists making real work. San Diego needs more of this....

Look out for a permanent location within the decade...

" Good But Needs A Little Makeover "…read more We went to the Digital Media Arts Center in the North Park area of San Diego today and had a nice experience. Marco the attendant helped us and does a lot of work at this location. The Theater is very small with only 50 seats. But it is like watching a private up close movie. It was very different but cool. The seats were nicely cushioned and lean back making it very comfortable. The part of the Arts Center that needs a little make over is the front seating area. The furniture is very old and worn out, and is covered up with sheets and blankets. They need to be replaced !

I love the ma and pa feel and the staff's friendliness and flexibility to make your moviegoing experience the best! It's almost like being in the comfort of your own home theater! I went there recently to view a film that all the major theatres had decided not to screen and the experience was terrific. The exhibitions director, Phil, comes in at the beginning and introduces the film and gives you quick food for thought before you dive into the actual flick. There is also a cool gift shop in the lobby with art for sale by local artists and a lot of cool things to check out. They are currently in the process of getting their alcohol license, so soon you will be able to buy beer there. After the movie, my movie companion and I talked with Phil and had an extended conversation about upcoming programming. Love the passion of Phil and the staff for fine art and film! I will definitely be back!

The event I went to was called Black & Brown SD Social Club Presents - Open Session 001 A Mixed Media Showcase. And it was the first one they did. It was a small but powerful venue. The outside was filled with murals and color. The inside need some work. There were a couple of photos, seating for about 25 and a tv. It'll be full with about 75 people. It's small and intimate place. If you're BIPOC and in the creative arts, be it poetry, improv, arts, dance, yoga etc. then you should check it out. If you're BIPOC and not in the arts, you should come out and network and make connections. It's nothing but love here. I randomly found the event in eventbrite and I'm excited to grow my connections here in SD by coming back for more!

AMBIANCE: City Heights is a charming place, maybe not the most advertised place but certainly a beautiful gem. An area with a nice crossroads of culture, Viet Voices in the heart of City Heights - Little Saigon with the icon Asian Business Center building on El Cajon and Menlo/47th. The spot itself is a nice humble spot with a nice timeline with some info on their work and just a general meeting working space. Oh and a nice mural from Thao French Art! PARKING: Street and plaza parking. It really depends on the day and if there are events happening around that area. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people that really care about our community. TL;DR - OVERALL 5 stars. Wonderful! How can you knock on leaders that do good work serving the community. Whether it's civic engagement or some community work, this is a hub to look into. Much appreciation to Jean-Huy Tran and the Viet Voices team! Pro tip: * Check their website and social media for upcoming events!

not much of a women's center anymore. very industrial area, which i like. surprised citymark is…read moresupposed to be building high end residences here across from walmart and the automotive shop. very different design for citymark as well - when i purchased one of their condos (m2i) there was a lot of architectural talk about matching the facade to the surrounding neighborhood - didn't work out that way, but i liked the exposed structural materials at that location. in the end - a condo at this location cannot be worth more than $100k or $200 a square foot for 600sf. still crazy expensive compared to what the land was sold for at around $160k for the whole lot then resold recently at $2.1 million supposedly. better question - how could a location like this be worth anything at all when there are hundreds of condos proposed for construction in la mesa on their gis website? be careful starting a business that requires foot traffic here, when m2i first started the vast majority of the businesses in that area went belly up within a few years and that was in a high traffic city location - almost no-one walks around this area. the entitled design certainly is not industrial enough for the neighborhood - makes me super sad to read about the la mesa women's club at the library while also spending $320k on a unit at m2i then learning about what they are building here / how the developer/woman's group is suing the church next door. i am a bit ashamed to have paid for one of these units from citymark in the past - m2i 506 at 1050 island ave. that was me. also of note - citymark has a habit of installing very limited finished with the expectation that owners finish the interior of the units. that can work, but you should pay appropriately. personally - i expect more from a woman's club. primarily: consideration for the longevity of the city and the architectural design which they have strong control over at this location. they definitely sold out here while beating up on the church they grew up alongside. not cool - that says something about its current members. when you have property and an opportunity to build something that develops the city you are supposed to be shepherding, but you choose to sell out like this - there's something very wrong or entirely self centered going on. this proposed citymark design also shows that the women's club does not care about fabrication or industry whatsoever (which this area is rife with), just high end residential which is not going to help the la mesa tax base. expect a glut of units in la mesa at rock bottom prices with the intent of having you drive to work on a regular basis instead of working locally (there are already huge vacancies.) also expect higher prices in this area because of fewer low dollar residences.
