San Diego State’s secretly flourishing art community is already displayed in three different galleries on campus. However, it is unknown to many students that SDSU artwork will have a home in downtown San Diego this spring. This gallery was given to SDSU for 60 years with free rent by Bosa Development to be in the Electra residential tower. This space brings the art of SDSU and its students outside of just the campus.

The opening date for this new gallery is still unknown, so while waiting spend some time in the three art galleries located on’ campus. The University art gallery located on the fourth floor of the art buildings hosts a number of artists both San Diegan and otherwise. The past exhibition of Blue McRight hosted a number of three-dimensional and two-dimensional art pieces centered around the traveling life of the artist; in one room an entire trailer home was reproduced and in another, green rabbits filled the walls and floors. New art is seen every semester in this amazing gallery directed by Tina Yapelli.

In addition to the installed art pieces, artists participate in openings and small receptions so that visitors can speak with the artist about the works. There are also two smaller galleries located on the fifth floor of the art building both used to host Graduate student galleries. These galleries usually change weekly and display a large range of artwork and mediums. SDSU is producing multi-talented artists and has established a nurturing art community both on campus and throughout San Diego, giving students a chance to support fellow peers.
