Visual Arts Program
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
