James Brown is an architect, contractor and developer from San Diego, California.

Since leaving Cambridge, he and his wife Isabel Dutra have dreamt themselves into a challenging and stimulating large scale project. They are owners and co-curators of Bread & Salt, an arts collective located in a former bakery in Barrio Logan on the edge of the growing downtown.

One major goal is to retain the artists in the downtown community, fighting artist flight to affordable work space by providing stability in rental rate and community support. When completed the project will house 35 affordable live/work spaces for artists and artisans, as well as 5 galleries and instructional spaces.  The project will achieve these things naturally – without local, state, or national subsidies.
