About Jingletown: Jingletown acquired its
name from Portuguese cannery workers whose earnings would "jingle" in
their pockets at the end of the day as they walked home from the factories in
the area, signifying prosperity. As time
went on the neighborhood went into disuse, but in the early 1980’s artists
realized the potential and converted many of the neglected warehouses into
functioning live/work spaces. It is now
a thriving artist community and one of the fastest growing arts districts in
the Bay Area.
In a time when our neighborhood has been changing dramatically,
the goal of the Jingletown Arts and Business Community is to heighten awareness
about the rich and diverse population of working and exhibiting artists and the
creative opportunities in the Jingletown Arts District.
