History

In the late 1990s, Santa Cruz was a highly desirable tourist destination with a strong arts and culture community. But as the housing costs increased, few young artists could afford to stay. In 2001, Ceil Cirillo, Executive Director of the Santa Cruz Redevelopment Agency persuaded civic leaders to approve the plan to transform Salz Tannery into an arts complex to anchor and preserve Santa Cruz's strong cultural identity well into the future.
