Show Notes
25 years ago, Point Loma’s Liberty Station began its transformation from military base to arts center.
It was renamed Arts District Liberty Station — and soon became a cultural hub for the city.
In fact, it was recently designated as a California Cultural District for its contribution to the arts.
Thursday on Midday Edition, we talk about the place Liberty Station has in San Diego's arts and culture scene.
Then, KPBS' Beth Accomando previews a documentary being screened at the 36th annual San Diego International Jewish Film Festival.
Then, the KPBS arts and culture podcast "The Finest" premieres its second season. We get a special sneak peek at what is to come — from risograph printing to hometown heroes.
Guests:
- Lisa Johnson, president and CEO, Arts District Liberty Station
- Rachel Laing, assistant deputy director in economic development, city of San Diego
- Abby Ginzberg, filmmaker, "Labors of Love: The Life and Legacy of Henrietta Szold"
- Julia Dixon Evans, arts reporter and host of "The Finest," KPBS
