“The strange power of art is sometimes it can show that what people have in common is more urgent than what differentiates them.” –John Berger

Arts & Culture, San Diego Human Dignity FoundationThe San Diego Human Dignity Foundation believes the arts are essential to a healthy, vital community and can act as a change-agent to engage all types of people and build community. The arts are natural bridge-builders between diverse communities and enrich the lives people from all walks of life.

The success of the Diversionary Theatre’s family-friendly musical “The Daddy Machine” is an excellent example of the arts positive impact. The musical premiered at the Diversionary Theatre in January 2008 and then travelled to San Diego State University and California State University Long Beach before performing twice on Rosie O’Donnell’s Family Vacation Cruise. The results were over 1,840 people saw the performances and caught an engaging and positive snapshot of LGBT family life.

The San Diego Human Dignity Foundation is interested in continuing its support of the arts and looks for programs that not only celebrate our diversity, but are also able to utilize the arts as a vehicle to enhance all aspects of human dignity.
