Far South Border North

Arts and culture are critical to the health and well-being of California. To fuel positivity and support the social, environmental, and civic engagement of California’s most disproportionately impacted communities, the California Arts Council, in partnership with the State legislature, developed California Creative Corps. Far South/Border North: Artists and Cultural Practitioners in Community (FSBN) was conceived by the City of San Diego and its regional partners as a California Creative Corps arts program for San Diego and Imperial counties to do just that.
