The Gallery

The Gallery is a nonprofit community space for the arts, founded by the Tommy E. Short Charitable Foundation (TESCF). Global advocates for youth, art, music and the environment.

TESCF is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to the exploration of human potential and the advancement of sustainable living, seeking to advance children, the arts, music and the environment.
​
It provides support and resources for future focused organizations that promote understanding, sustainability, love, promise, and growth.
​
They strive to create a new model of giving, in which they act as a key player to facilitate the success of other nonprofit organizations whose missions align with the goals of the foundation. Through synergistic alliances and associations, the foundation strives to advance those concepts for the greater good.
​
TESCF started as the Stryker Short Foundation in the early nineties. In 2001 TESCF was reorganized as a new charitable organization based in San Diego, CA. Since then the foundation has given over $5 MILLION to various groups and causes. TESCF co-founded the Earth Council Alliance and assisted in the formation of the Earth Charter.

The Gallery is a space where all of the values of the foundation meet. There are so many projects our planet needs and we consider ourselves part of the solution. The Gallery is a space where people meet and share artistic values and ideas. Attend cultural events, fundraisers, lectures, wellness workshops, meditational and spiritual events. We support environmental movements, local artists, musicians, and health. All the money raised at our events go to the foundation!

When you book your event with us or attend an event, you are supporting our effort to bring forth a sustainable society founded on respect for nature, love for one another, universal human rights, economic justice, health and a culture of peace.
