San Diego Art Institute: Museum of the Living Artist

The San Diego Art Institute's "Museum of the Living Artist" is a Center for the Visual Arts for the Southern California/Bahia California region. It promotes San Diego as a living arts community that fully integrates visual arts into everyday life through a three-fold mission of Education, Exhibition, and Outreach. SDAI's most visible activity focuses on showcasing the work of San Diego emerging area visual artists through a program of over 30 juried shows per year, featuring more than 3,000 works of painting, sculpture, prints, drawings, and mixed media. SDAI maintains a separate facility for education. Classes in life drawing, painting, water color, children's art, and various photography classes are a sampling of the SDAI art educational programs offered.
