We are devastated that San Diego's own Gossip Grill, one of our last remaining Q***r Women's bars in the US, was targeted in an apparent arson attack last night, shortly after midnight. At about 12:30am on 10/20, both front patios were set on fire.
Luckily, no structural damage was sustained and nobody was hurt, but Gossip Grill and SDPD are asking for any information the community may have. If you saw something or have any information, please reach out to Gossip Grill and/or the SDPD non-emergency line: 619-531-2000. And, of course, please let's continue to support our local LGBTQIA+ bars with our dollars! Gossip will be open its normal hours tonight, from 2pm-2am. We hope you will stop by for a meal or a round of drinks to show the staff your support.

Are current American politics comparable to McCarthyism? How have we progressed since J Edgar Hoover? Are states policies like those of Florida or the recent decisions of the Supreme Court leading the way backwards towards censorship and civil rights violations?

A classic conversation on the problematic laws that conflict with the First Amendment and your Civil Rights.
How are "community standards" ambiguous? How is "offimsivrness" subjective? How does one establish a preponderance of evidence to validate such claims?

The Broker’s Building Art Gallery Board at 402 Market Street, San Diego, CA was a formalization of a local community cultural institution of more than 40 years featuring traditional oil painters such as Claudia Mackey, Joanne Barrows, Mary Ann Carr, Jo Caldwell, Madeline Sherry, Dan Camp, Hans Chobolits, Peter Suczeck and many others. Under the direction of Ms. Helena Espinoza and Mr. Qamar Bradford, the board formalized into a 501(c)(3) organization in the hopes of becoming a self-sufficient body of artists maintaining our origins as a Grassroots Gallery and contributing to arts for the public.
Housed in a Gaslamp Historical Society recognized facility that was once owned by Levi Strauss of Levi’s Jeans Co. the Broker's Building Gallery was competitively located near the San Diego Convention Center which is home to a variety of events—especially the annual $100 million-dollar revenue driving International Comic Convention. In the heart of the Gaslamp district, home to fine dining such as Cohn Restaurant Group and major nightlife companies like Petco Park, Hard Rock Hotel and RMD Group, the Broker’s Building Gallery was the only grassroots art facility of its kind strategically near the main activity of Fifth Avenue. The third floor had a variety of suites (around 41). The fourth floor housed larger suites and the gallery with about 12 suites.
Incorporated in 2016 BBAGB has begun a new chapter to provide community partners a great opportunity as not only a tax write-off as well as a built-in way of gaining community stakeholder buy-in through community services with schools and community non-profits into the arts. With a new residence at 1827 Fifth Avenue, around the corner from Balboa Park, the new rebranding of the Broker’s Building Art Gallery Board (BBAGB) captures the DIY spirit of the old collective as well as the historical stylings and raw grassroots spirit. Introducing the BBAGB’s new venture: EXHIBITOR. EXHIBITOR will not only support visual artists but also sound and performance creatives. Furthermore it will also serve as platform for public charitable service, free speech and business incubation for San Diego’s creative community.
