Marina Arts District

The Marina Arts District is the rebranded neighborhood that the Downtown Management District is based on. The District is bounded by Kinney Street to I-37, and Lower Broadway to the Corpus Christi Marina L and T-Heads. In 2013, the property owners voted to renew the district through 2023.  In 2015, DMD led stakeholders through a branding process naming this destination as the Marina Arts District while retaining DMD to refer to the organization and the programs and services we provide.
