SFAI Gallery



Diego Rivera Gallery

800 Chestnut Street
Open daily, 9:00am to 7:30pm

The Diego Rivera Gallery is a student-directed exhibition space for work by SFAI students. The gallery provides an opportunity for BFA, MFA and Post-Baccalaureate students to present their work in a gallery setting, to use the space for large-scale installations, or to experiment with artistic concepts and concerns in a public venue.

After applications for exhibitions are submitted, a jury of alumni selects the artists who will exhibit. Students may apply to have an individual show, to participate in a group show (three or more artists), or to curate a show. For more information about how to apply, see the student handbook. About 40 shows per year are scheduled and close to 200 students exhibit each year.

Exhibitions run Monday through Saturday with opening receptions every Tuesday from 5:00 to 6:00pm. Diego Gallery artists' talks occur every Tuesday at 4:30pm.
