Partners for Innovative Community, Inc.

Site being expanded!

Partners is a 501(c)3 non-profit that works with public and private entities, community groups and individuals at the touch points where arts, technology-science and environment-ecology are converging. Our Mission is to help create innovative communities that are sustainable economically, socially and environmentally.

We provide a helping hand by bringing together, and shaking up, the different perspectives of the arts, technology-science and environment-ecology to create breakthrough solutions to our local and regional problems.

If you, your company, organization or government entity are interested in partnering with us in this challenging and important work, please Get Involved today. If you need more information, please Contact Us.


Partners is collecting ideas for, and examples of, new approaches to street and building design that reflect the convergence of arts, technology and environment. 

Specifically, how would you design our buildings, streets and other public areas so that they would truly reflect the different perspective of arts, technology and the environment? How would such areas be made economically, socially and environmentally sustainable?

Have you seen any good examples of places that address all three perspectives simultaneously? If so, please Contact Us with your examples. We would be deeply appreciative of your contributions and we will be sharing the best ideas on our website.

What's New

Oceanside's Arts Technology & Environment District

Partners is working with the City of Oceanside in San Diego county, California to dramatically expand live-work and associated supportive businesses and resources for  artists, technologists and environmentalists. While the economic slowdown has impacted some aspects of the project in the short-term, especially City staffing/support activities, the opportunities for obtaining sites along the ocean at more reasonable prices has increased.

If you work in any of these fields and are interested in being part of Oceanside's new District or in partnering with us to create innovative community anywhere in the world, Contact Us.


Center for Innovative & Sustainable Community (CISC)

Partners has joined with two members of our Advisory Group (Mike Hoffman and Daniela Deutsch of Exitecture Architects---with offices in San Diego and Frankfurt Germany) to produce a fully described Center for Innovative & Sustainable Community to be located in converted warehouse space. [This link will take you to a single external rendering. More detailed information, including 3D renderings, are available.] The proposed Center brings together the three ATE perspectives (Arts, Technology and Environment-Ecology) into a 16,000-35,000 shared-work facility along with a culinary school, restaurant and performance/meeting venue.  The Center also includes an core intellectual component based on collaboration and convergence of ATE perspective that further distinquishes it from any other location.
