In 2012, the San Diego City Council voted unanimously to approve a “Penny for the Arts” plan that would allocate 9.52% of the city’s Transient Occupancy Tax to Arts and Culture funding. 

​

That was the plan to fund Arts and Culture in San Diego and it is a good plan.

​

Unfortunately, even though this was passed by Council, the Arts and Culture community have been pushing ever since to realize that goal.

The Arts+Culture:San Diego coalition members are dedicated to, and focused on, achieving Penny for Arts and Culture.
