Out of Tijuana’s bloody narco years comes an intriguing wave of creativity in this young city, just 126 years old. Artists, architects, musicians and street performers are running arts organizations – small and large, established and homegrown – and trying to build a cultural legacy. These are galleries and institutions that don't just show art but are also actively working to educate and help shape a generation of artists and designers.
