Artists + Practitioners + Organizations

The Hill Street Country Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to shaping the growing arts and culture scene in Oceanside and the surrounding North Country region. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse atmosphere that reflects the socioeconomic landscape of our community.  The organization's mission is to encourage art beyond gallery walls to create a culture where artists and the community can thrive together in North County San Diego.

Playwrights Project empowers people of all ages and backgrounds to voice stories through theatre, inspiring individual growth and creating meaningful community connections. Its vision is to sustain an inclusive, compassionate community that broadens minds through the power of creativity and theatre. It champions individual voices, with a focus on uplifting underserved communities through equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist practices that raise BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and similarly marginalized individuals. Programs serve youth in San Diego schools and individuals of all ages who have experienced poverty, homelessness, foster care, immigration, substance use disorder, the justice system, and the military. 

The Imperial County Historical Society disseminates the history of Imperial County and close geographic areas where they were impactful. The organization’s mission is to maintain current collections and continue to collect relevant future artifacts held in the extensive archives of the Pioneers' Museum for the public benefit and to facilitate educational and cultural development. To carry out this mission, the organization works to procure, restore, preserve, interpret, and protect documentary materials and artifacts to bring history to life for current and future generations.
