San Francisco Group Wants to Make Mid-Market a ‘World-Class’ Arts Hub
Right now The Mid-Market Business Association and Foundation are looking to raise $15 million to make this dream a reality. At the current moment the group says it has twice the amount of public money as it does private and is looking to raise more of both. A planning document outlined the budget over the next two years. Personally, I’d love to see this happen. Events like the UNDSCVRD Night Market and the Bhangra and Beats Night Market have already begun the process of revitalizing Downtown San Francisco with the arts. Having a substantial investment in the arts like The Mid-Market Business Association and Foundation plan would be enriching to all San Franciscans and visitors. Whereas, if they just tried to turn it into another tech hub or business center, all it would really do is enrich the already wealthy.
