Artist Panel and Reception: Saturday, February 28, 4 - 7 p.m. Panel starts at 4:30 p.m. Art Gallery - FA 103 Free Parking Lot 1 Staff Spots On view Feb. 9 - March 5. This powerful intergenerational exhibition of Chicana portraiture brings together artists from Los Angeles and San Diego to explore identity, memory, activism, and healing through the human figure. Blending contemporary realities with ancestral memory, these figurative works honor matriarchal lineages, personal narratives, and an enduring commitment to social justice. Originally curated Sybil Venegas for Avenue 50 Studio in Los Angeles, this exhibition includes artists from different generations—Baby Boomers, Gen X and Millennials. The expanded presentation in San Diego includes local artists Marianela de la Hoz, Katie Ruiz, and Ale Ruiz Tostado, presenting their work alongside their Angeleno counterparts. Intrinsically connected to Mexico and the border, cultural influences are evident in these artists’ paintings, which align with the legacy of Chicano art while also paying tribute to long-standing Latin American traditions of magical realism and folk art.

Get ready to witness transcenDANCE's annual CREATE production "Harvesting Hope" on July 24 - 25, 2026. How is hope a tool for resilience, transformation, and collective care? How do small ideas and persistent action lead to positive change in our communities? What does it look like to cultivate hope in our own lives? Our 2026 CREATE production asks these questions through original contemporary and hip-hop dance pieces, interwoven with performance poetry and visual art. When transcenDANCE students spoke with local San Diego changemakers early this year, they learned about creative resistance, the many ways they as individuals can engage in changemaking, and what it takes to start and sustain change. Through Harvesting Hope, they share their inspiration, creativity, and ideas for collective action. Show Times: Friday, July 24, 2026 and Saturday, July 25, 2026 Lobby and box office open at 6 p.m. Showtime: 6:30 p.m. Venue Location: Hoover High School Performing Arts Center 4474 El Cajon Blvd. San Diego, CA 92115 Parking Information: Free parking is available in the large parking lots in the front of school campus.
