ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Diverse City Destinations is a series of 10 self-guided itineraries that will immerse the visitor in the best of San Francisco's culture, ethnic heritage and arts: Art to Architecture, Culture on the Edge, East Is West, Jazz and Blues, Jewish Heritage, Natural Wonders, Pride, Raíces/Latino Roots, Soul in the City, and Tour de Force.

The Diverse City Destinations project was funded by the San Francisco Mayor's Office through the Grants for the Arts/Hotel Tax program, and written and designed by San Francisco Study Center. Much of the information in these brochures was developed by the Study Center for "California: Culture's Edge," a project of the Art Commissions of San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Community advisory committees of local artists, civic leaders and representatives of the visitor industry contributed to the original project. Diverse City Destinations acknowledges their efforts with thanks.

We hope you will enjoy San Francisco in all its variety. Because entry information may change, be sure to phone ahead before venturing out. We welcome your comments.
