San Jose’s South of First Area (SoFA) is one of the city’s liveliest arts, culture and entertainment districts, though its rapid growth has many concerned about the loss of the neighborhood’s unique character and affordable spaces. San Jose is not alone in this problem, and urban arts districts from around the country can serve as wonderful studies for what the neighborhood can and should do next. Join us to talk about strategies and best practices for arts and culture cultivation in SoFA and the broader San Jose community.
