What is 8Teen Art & Cultural Center

The concept behind 8Teen Art & Cultural Center (The Center) is to provide an arts, entertainment and coffee/internet cafe venue all in one place in one of San Diego's established art districts, North Park.  The Center provides a fine art exhibition gallery space, live entertainment venue, arts & crafts workshops, dance class space, arcade game room, internet cafe and private party rental space. 

"The Center" is a place where

  •  the entire family can come for good wholesome fun, 
  •  groups can have meetings
  • up and coming local bands can get experience on our great stage with a professional sound engineer,
  • San Diego's visual artists can exhibit their work in a down to earth venue, and 
  •    the weary work a day person can just to stop relax on a big overstuffed couch and have a latte or smoothie and let the day unwind.
