Exhibit on view November 10 - December 16. Responding to issues affecting our region, our Fall 2025 Museum Studies class has juried, curated, and installed "Reimagining La Linea", an exhibition about migration which highlights the work of thirty artists and two collectives. Migration has been a vital force in the shaping our country, and the San Diego/Tijuana region clearly exemplifies this: a diverse community alive with layered cultures, languages, and traditions from all around the globe. The border wall or “La Linea,” intended as an impenetrable boundary, also reveals itself as porous, with the highest number of lawful daily crossings of any other US port of entry. The artwork bears witness to the human condition at the border as well as to the journeys and dreams carried across it. The exhibition challenged artists to imagine an alternative future where boundaries are fluid sites of connection rather than division. The exhibit transforms the gallery into a space of empathy and imagination, where borders that divide us become bridges that connect us. Join us for the reception on Wednesday, November 12, 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. Artists will be present and there will be music by DJ Will Gallaspy, aka The Great Gallaspy.

Saturday, October 11, from 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Immerse Yourself in Japanese Culture with a Hands-On Kintsugi Experience: Join us for a captivating journey into the heart of Japanese culture with our unique Kintsugi Experience. Kintsugi, often called “golden joinery,” is more than just an art form; it’s a profound philosophy deeply rooted in Japanese culture. It treats the mending of broken pottery as an artful and spiritual practice, celebrating imperfections and the beauty of resilience. This philosophy aligns closely with the essence of Wabi-Sabi, which embraces life’s imperfections. Our Kintsugi Experience offers you the chance to not only learn about this rich cultural tradition but also to experience it firsthand. You’ll delve into the history and philosophy of Kintsugi, gaining a profound understanding of how it represents life’s journey. Then, it’s your turn to roll up your sleeves and try it for yourself, making two pieces of kintsugi to take home and enjoy. In our studio, you’ll receive all the materials needed, and our experienced instructor will guide you through the hands-on process. As you mend your own piece of pottery, you’ll discover not only the art of Kintsugi but also the art of self-acceptance and resilience. This isn’t just a class; it’s a cultural immersion and a transformative experience. By participating in our Kintsugi Experience, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and the profound wisdom that lies within this ancient art form. Ages 12+ are welcome. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschool funds accepted • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.
