The center provides cultural programs and classes, art exhibits, a public garden and more for the past three decades
The San Diego City Council Tuesday approved a 25-year lease agreement with the WorldBeat Center in Balboa Park, preserving the multi-cultural arts organization for another quarter century.
The center is dedicated to promoting, preserving and celebrating the African diaspora and Indigenous cultures of the world. WorldBeat offers year-round classes in international dance and drumming, organic gardening and African history, along with children's workshops and various entertainment events.
Now, with the lease agreement finally in place, the WorldBeat Center will be able to apply for federal and state grant funding to cover maintenance and improvement costs, and explore the opportunity to expand programming.
