BOULEVARD NIGHTSJUNE 15, 2012

The first quarterly Boulevard Nights was a blast! The Media Arts Center San Diego and our neighbors- the Coffee & tea Collective and the Homebrewer- opened the doors for a night of music, film, art, and fun! MACSD featured films created by the Teen Producers Project and art from Hoover High Stu-dents. There was even a barbeque to show off our new outdoor community space and a photo studio in the ‘green screen’ room! MaCSD would like to thank everyone for coming out and for your continued support of our pro-grams and our mission.
