A new program at UC San Diego Health is training people to advance from jobs like housekeeping and food service into clinical health roles.

You’re invited to the opening night of "Hiding in Plain Site," a debut retrospective featuring the deeply personal and powerful work of multidisciplinary artist and designer Joseph A. Henseler, on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Union Hall Gallery in San Diego; the exhibition will run through August 10. After creating in near-anonymity for over 30 years, Henseler brings 90 original works—sculpture, stained glass, painting, architectural design, and more into the light. His work is a testament to resilience, introspection, and the capacity for art to hold meaning in an increasingly disconnected world. Opening night will include live music, refreshments, and a Q&A with the artist, whose story bridges architecture, wilderness, family, and spiritual healing. Closing weekend (August 9) will feature a special performance by Henseler’s wife, Chilean vocalist Lorena Isabell, and will be dedicated to survivors of domestic abuse and neglect, a deeply personal cause for the artist. The public is invited to attend this free, immersive exhibit and witness a journey three decades in the making.
