The San Diego Museum of Art continues its Guest Lecture Series with a presentation by Raymundo Silva Madrid, curator of the Museum’s current exhibition, "Alfredo Castañeda: Beyond Surrealism."

This exhibition marks the first solo exhibition of Castañeda’s work in a U.S. museum, and the lecture will offer exclusive insights into the development of the exhibition and a deeper understanding of Castañeda’s artistic language and legacy. Following the lecture, guests are invited to enjoy a guided tour of the exhibition led by our docent team. The San Diego Museum of Art on Facebook / Instagram

Our Afternoon Art Classes invite students to explore a wide variety of mediums—including drawing, watercolor, collage, and painting—while also learning about contemporary artists and diverse cultures from around the world. Guided by Teaching Artist Ms. Aiza, students will not only build artistic skills but also strengthen Social Emotional Learning (SEL) through creative expression, collaboration, and self-reflection. Each session includes both skill-building lessons and fun one-off projects designed to spark imagination, confidence, and connection. Parents are welcome to drop off their child for class or stay in the room during the class while students create. Feel free to choose what works best for you!
