What Is Best of San Diego?

Each year, San Diego Magazine invites readers to nominate and vote for their favorite local businesses, nonprofits, and creative spaces through the Best of San Diego awards. These nominations highlight organizations that shape our region through innovation, service, and community impact.

For mission-driven nonprofits like ArtReach San Diego, a nomination does more than recognize our work. It helps new families discover our programs, strengthens our visibility citywide, and supports our ability to reach more youth through accessible arts education.

Last year marked a major milestone for ArtReach San Diego. In our very first year as an open arts studio, we were honored to be voted Best Art Classes for Kids and Best Day Camp in San Diego. This recognition helped introduce ArtReach to new families, fueled growth in our studio programs, and reinforced the importance of creative spaces for young people in San Diego. Since then, ArtReach has continued to grow and evolve.

Our Impact Since Last Year

Over the past year, ArtReach San Diego has:

• Hosted a full year of studio-based art programs
• Welcomed hundreds of young artists into our creative space
• Expanded our after-school art offerings
• Continued providing free and low-cost art education in schools and community spaces throughout San Diego

These programs are rooted in our belief that every child deserves access to meaningful, hands-on arts education, regardless of financial circumstances.

Why Your Nomination Matters

Every nomination helps amplify ArtReach’s mission and reach new families who may not yet know about our programs. Increased visibility allows us to:

• Serve more youth across San Diego County
• Expand free and low-cost programming
• Continue creating inclusive, welcoming creative spaces

Your support directly contributes to sustaining and growing arts education opportunities for children and teens throughout our community.
