About

A women-owned 501(c)(3) nonprofit on La Mesa Boulevard, Revision La Mesa operates a creative-arts workspace and thrift store dedicated to inclusive access for artists of all abilities. The Creative Arts Program partners with the San Diego Regional Center to provide studio access for adults with developmental disabilities, pairing visual-art instruction with the broader La Mesa creative ecosystem that includes instrument builders like Moze Guitars. Resident artists maintain working studios inside the La Mesa location, producing and exhibiting original work while mentoring program participants in painting, mixed media, and textile techniques. An on-site thrift store channels donated clothing, furniture, and housewares into operating revenue for the nonprofit, funding workshop supplies and exhibition costs without reliance on grants alone. That donation-to-program pipeline funds quarterly exhibitions, community art nights, and holiday markets at both the La Mesa and Hillcrest locations, a dual-site nonprofit model that echoes the volunteer-run curation at Friends of the La Mesa Library Bookstore. The studio houses adaptive-art stations with adjustable-height easels, wheelchair-accessible worktables, and sensory-supportive lighting designed for program participants across a range of physical and cognitive abilities.
