By bringing these diverse artists together on the same stage, we provide our audiences an opportunity to see the vast array of multicultural art traditions that are thriving here in San Diego. It also gives the performers a chance to be inspired by a craft they may not have had much exposure to. And it lets all of know that we live in a very small world, where we can find commonality in our passion for the arts.
