La Bodega Finds New Home After Being Pushed Out by Rent Hike
By Mario A. Cortez
After much uncertainty about its future, La Bodega Gallery in Barrio Logan will live on in the neighborhood.
Through a social media post, the gallery revealed it will be moving into The National 92113, a creative space inside a former heavy machinery workshop on the nearby corner of National and Sicard.
The Kensington-based firm Ten Seventy Architecture will help design the new floor plan, which is slated to include a gallery space and artist studios.
In the meantime, La Bodega will be hosting some pop-up art exhibits and fundraisers to cover costs related to permitting and construction. A GoFundMe page has also been set up for community members to donate.
