SAN DIEGO
San Diego officials are taking a comprehensive new look at how city arts funding is doled out with the goal of finding gaps in who gets the money, possible inequities and potentially troubling trends that need attention.
No one disputes that the city needs to heavily support its regional magnet venues, like downtown’s Civic Theatre and Balboa Park’s museums, because they serve everyone across San Diego. Balboa Park and downtown get nearly 70 percent of
$11.4 million the city annually contributes to arts and culture organizations.
But some say the stark differences in arts funding may indicate low-income neighborhoods are getting shortchanged, either because the city’s process of rewarding grants is biased or because leaders of arts groups in poor areas don’t understand or trust the process.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â One of the most recognized aspects of SDCCU Stadium may have been removed, but it will find a new home at San Diego State s forthcoming Aztec Stadium.
The large 45 foot-by-150 foot mural on the back of the stadium s scoreboard was untouched despite four different stadium names and teams leaving. But as the crews continue to slowly demolish the 53-year-old stadium, passerby s will notice the mural is no longer there.
Despite some fans hoping to take home a piece of the art, similar to how mementos of the stadium were auctioned off, the mural isn t being sold.
