The June 6 opening reception for Creating in Community: A Group Exhibition promises lively conversations with artists, live music, and a stimulating panel discussion.
After performances by Ciel Bracher on guitar and vocals and Felix Diaz & Abril Diaz of Drummers Without Borders, the panel discussion will examine the past, present, and future of Space 4 Art from the perspectives of one of its founders, Bob Leathers, and Executive Director Jennifer de Poyen; Victor Payan and Sandra "Pocha" Peña, the visionary creators of affordable artist housing in Santa Ana; and Tracy Hudak of Californians for the Arts, who has worked in both economic and community development projects intersecting with art for over two decades.
The full schedule is as follows:
5:00-5:30 Ciel Bracher performs
5:30-6:00 Felix Diaz & Abril Diaz perform
6:00-7:00 Social Hour
7:00-7:45 Panel Discussion
This map shows the recommended entrance from Marlesta (on the west side of campus), and also an alternative route if you enter from the east side of campus.
DRIVING SUGGESTIONS:
In your navigation tool, type San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery, and it should direct you accurately. Or enter San Diego Mesa College Student Health Services. Note that there is a Mesa College Dr. exit sign going North from the 163 and 805 FWY.
The closest entrance to the Gallery (which is in the Fine Arts Building) is from Genesee/ Marlesta onto Chasewood. (See the left side of the map pictured above.)
If you enter from Mesa College Drive closest to Linda Vista, then you have to drive around the football field, all the way around to Parking Lot #1. (See the right side of the map pictured above.)
PARKING SUGGESTIONS:
Parking is free in Lot #1 in the spots marked STAFF, directly in front of the Fine Arts building’s giant white and yellow letters that say Art Gallery.
