A Different Kind of Sushi

After four years of wandering through bars and other public spaces, Sushi gets to go home. I’m writing about Sushi, A Center for the Urban Arts, based in downtown San Diego at Eleventh and J St. While the former Reincarnation building was re-imagined into Icon, a mixed use urban site, Sushi was homeless.

In about a week, the Sushi staff and volunteers will schlep all their stuff into the new space. And the adventure will begin anew.

I love what it says on the Sushi homepage about the space - “a new fluid and transparent space where the art experience will be personal, intimate, and unexpected.” I am expecting all of that and more.

This year’s line up of talent is exceptional. Due to the incredible relationships she has fostered over the years, Executive Director Lynn Schuette has put together an entire season of premieres. And with artists like Karen Finley, Guillermo Gomez Pena and Tere O’Connor that’s big news for San Diego.

I’ll keep you posted with photos of the progression, inside tips, interviews and insights. Let me know if there’s something you’re curious about.
