About this project
THE SKY'S THE LIMIT
Thank you all and please continue to contribute!
The recent outpouring of generosity has exceeded our expectations! It just goes to show that our family, friends, colleagues, and community are truly amazing. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
With only a few days left, we at Periscope are already so grateful that we’re able to fulfill the most immediate needs of our students. With continued support, we have high hopes to also be able to provide educational opportunities through the fall and beyond!
Any additional funds raised will help ensure longevity for Periscope’s unique multidisciplinary programming. The underdeveloped East Village district of San Diego can benefit so much from the amenities for art, education, and urban renewal that Periscope fosters and there are many deserving young people we hope to reach. Thank you for your continued support and keep spreading the word!

WHAT PERISCOPE HAS ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR
The Periscope Project serves downtown San Diego by providing a platform in support of art, redefining architecture, and addressing regional urban issues. For over a year, we’ve been able to maintain a gallery, host exhibitions, and provide free workspace and amenities for students, artists, architects, designers, scholars, and activists committed to improving the community. Now we need your help to expand our programming and inspire the next generation!
OUR LONG-TERM GOALS
This summer lab will serve as the first of many opportunities for grade-school through college level students. We also hope to offer ongoing, free educational access to individuals with limited financial resources. Ultimately, the Periscope Project Urban Laboratory seeks to expose students to college level content, provide mentorship opportunities with professors and educators from local universities, and foster practical and conceptual skills necessary for success in redefining the urban landscape.Please donate and spread the word. The more people who see our Kickstarter page, the more likely we are to meet our goals!

Has not connected their Facebook account.
We are a uniquely situated cooperative studio, exhibition, and educational space committed to the nexus of art, architecture, and regional urban issues. Plainly, we are a core group of educators, advocates, and community members energized to progress experiments in alternative development, public education, and cultural practices as viable agents for the production of urban-spatial pedagogies.
