Where Community Meets Creativity— A Multidisciplinary Art Exhibition

We are thrilled to announce the opening of Creating in Community: A Group Exhibition, a vibrant celebration of creativity within our multidisciplinary community. Running June 3-18, the exhibition will be hosted at the Mesa College Art Gallery, 7250 Mesa College Dr., FA 103, San Diego, 92111, under the expert curation of gallery director Alessandra Moctezuma. 

An opening reception— featuring live music performances by two resident musicians, and a panel discussion that both delves into the history and impact of Space 4 Art and provides valuable perspectives on the critical need to support artists in high-cost regions like San Diego— is set for June 6 from 5-8 p.m.

The closing reception, also featuring live music performances by resident musicians, is set for Tuesday, June 18 from 5-8 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
