Vent'anni di Convivio | 20 Years of Convivio

Gratitude should not be something we express on occasion--indeed, it should be a daily practice. All of us at Convivio strive to remember this each day as we continue our community work and keep an eye on our vision: A large-scale cultural center and museum for our community. And so, we are continually grateful for the opportunities to work in our communities and of course, for YOUR INVALUABLE SUPPORT, without which we could not do what we do. For the last two decades, with your patronage and guidance, we have brought you unique, innovative arts and cultural programming: We have developed a space in Little Italy that serves as the neighborhood's heritage, event, and visitor center; we have established the Italian Archives of San Diego to preserve our cherished artifacts and recount our collective historical narrative, so vital to the development of San Diego; we have published books on the history of Little Italy and San Diego's fishing industry; we have brought you concerts, artisan exhibits, presentations and lectures, films, and we have partnered with like-minded groups to further our impact through collaborative programs and projects; we have brought Italian consular services to Little Italy to help co-nationals; this spring, we will embark on our ambitious documentary series on the Italian heritage and culture of San Diego; and we are working to re-establish the much-cherished Sicilian Festival in San Diego for this summer. All of us at Convivio express our thanks to our supporters for your financial contributions, volunteer help, moral support, partnerships, kind words and accolades, and ongoing encouragement! Thank you for being on this journey with us--we look forward to co-creating even more with you. We can use your help! Volunteer with us and make an impact on our community! Volunteer with Convivio >> UNA STORIA SEGRETA EXHIBIT 🗓 Opening March 3, 2023 📍New Americans Museum, Liberty Station Convivio is proud to collaborate with the New Americans Museum at Liberty Station in realizing this exhibit for San Diego!
