San Diego Art Institute, Contemporary art center in Balboa Park, San Diego, United States
The San Diego Art Institute maintains exhibition spaces dedicated to regional artists, with rotating displays of paintings, sculptures, and multimedia installations throughout the year.
The Institute merged with LUX Art Institute in 2021, expanding its capabilities to support contemporary art practices through combined resources and enhanced programming initiatives.
Local artists display their work through curated exhibitions like SD Practice, which acquired 100 artworks during the global health crisis to support San Diego creators.
The center receives financial backing from the City of San Diego and offers regular exhibitions, educational programs, and opportunities for artists to showcase their work.
The Thomas O. Rasmussen art collection bequest enables the Institute to purchase and preserve works from regional artists for public display and cultural documentation.
