In 1986, the non-profit Visual Arts Foundation (Fed. ID# 33-017-0340) was formed to bring literary quality visual arts programming to San Diego. Since then, our direction has focused solely on supporting the next generation of filmmakers - through BestFest America where 'We mentor, train and inspire thousands of creative young filmmakers, providing a forum for their work to be seen and help to foster their storytelling craft.'
