Valencia Tenderloin Center
Not-for-profit 826 Valencia’s latest venture is the retail component of this mixed-use learning space that supports the creative writing skills of under-resourced students. Located in a former liquor store in the city’s densely populated, low-income Tenderloin district, the quirky retail shop is designed to delight, inspire and encourage exploration.
