Experience the first Mars Living Room Picture the first living room on Mars. What would settlers hang on their walls? They’d choose art that radiates the colors, warmth and joy of Earth. They’d hang paintings that remind them why exploring the unknown is worth it. That’s exactly what you’ll find at "Step Beyond," a limited‑run art adventure that transports you to a Mars colony living room where every wall glows with luminous oil paintings. Artists Andrea Tarman and Walter Redondo have created paintings that are more than décor. They’re portals to joy, the beauty of nature, the excitement of discovery and sparks of upliftment. In the hush of a Martian evening, colonists would gaze at these canvases for a burst of joy; here in San Diego, they’ll inspire you to imagine bigger. “As a local artist, I wanted to create a space where everyone can imagine life beyond Earth—see some great art and maybe spark the next generation of dreamers right here in San Diego.” – Andrea Tarman What to Expect: - Art: Collections inspired by the moon, the stars and beyond. - Mars Colony Living Room: Walk into a full‑scale living room set from the first Martian habitat.

In "Reencuentros: allá nos vemos/See you there," seven contemporary lens-based artists encounter time, home, (dis)placement, movement, stasis and becoming against the backdrop of the permeable US-Mexico border. Fedella Lizeth, Celeste Hernández, Jamil G. Baldwin, Aldo Cervantes, Elina Gonzalez, Alkaid Ramirez, and Raylene B. Olalde utilize photography and its intimacy to delve into the ubiquitous nature of family, home and land, examining the separations between people and place–how can home transcend the distinction between here and there? What does it mean to revisit what was once familiar? "Reencuentros: allá nos vemos/See you there" is organized by the SDSU Art Galleries. The exhibition is co-curated by William Camargo and Alexa Ramírez Posada. Programming is supported by the School of Art and Design, the Richard Anthony Marks Endowment and the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts. SDSU Art Galleries on Instagram and Facebook
