Overview
Mission
Project [BLANK] is a San Diegobased nonprofit performing arts organization dedicated to producing innovative, interdisciplinary performances that challenge and expand the communitys relationship to art and music. Since 2019, we have provided a platform for local and national artists to create and perform experimental works that blur the boundaries between music, theater, and visual art. Our mission is to make contemporary performance more accessible and relevant by presenting bold, thought-provoking experiences that reflect the diversity and complexity of modern life.
What it reported doing in 2024
During the 20232024 fiscal year, Project [BLANK] presented three major productions and multiple community events across San Diego, including our ongoing SALTY SERIES at Bread & Salt Gallery, which highlights new works by local artists and composers. We also launched Art Attack! our annual live art and fundraising eventbringing together dozens of artists, performers, and community members for a night of artmaking and celebration. During the 2024-2025 Season, Project [BLANK] produced PARK OPERA, a large-scale outdoor performance in Balboa Park supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, and continued development on upcoming interdisciplinary projects involving video, movement, and experimental sound.Beyond performances, Project [BLANK] remains committed to community engagement and artist development. We provide paid opportunities for hundreds of local artists, supported collaborations with regional partners such as the Museum of Us and the Balboa Park Forever Foundation, and offered free or low-cost access to performances to ensure broad public participation. Through these activities, Project [BLANK] continues to foster a vibrant ecosystem for experimental art and music in Southern California.
