Visual Arts Program
The Library is preparing to shift the focus of the Visual Arts Program to the New Central Library's 3,000 square foot gallery. Please watch this space for updates on the inaugural exhibit and other exciting Visual Arts Program developments coming soon.
The Library's Visual Arts Program is a nationally recognized series of exhibitions, lectures, a television program, and other art-related activities. The mission of the program is to demonstrate the library's role as a cultural institution embracing a broad range of disciplines, while assisting San Diego's mid-career and older professional artists in achieving wider local, regional, and national attention. Visual Arts Program exhibitions are made possible, in part, by contributions from individuals, volunteer efforts, and the Friends of Central Library. To see the latest information on exhibitions and other visual arts' activities, please consult the Library's Displays and Exhibits page on the Calendar of Events. For more information on the program, including donor information please consult the Visual Arts Program Fact Sheet (PDF)
