Community Leadership San Jose’s Class of 2010 toured the SOFA District yesterday, exploring the many hidden gems in this neighborhood. The class kicked off the day at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, hearing from 1stAct Silicon Valley CEO Connie Martinez about the state of the arts in San Jose. The class split into groups, visiting other SOFA sites including MACLA, ICA, Comic Art Gallery, Café Trieste and San Jose Stage. The day wrapped with a panel of artists and arts organization reps discussing the challenges and opportunities that face the district and the arts in general in the coming year. Explore the incredible emerging arts scene in the SOFA district by attending First Fridays from 8pm – 11pm. Art spaces are open for free and artists, patrons and the SOFA community come out to celebrate this vibrant scene… every first Friday on South First Street.
