Mission
Our mission, to advance the visual arts through exhibition, education and outreach, is expressed through some of the programs on the following pages.
Regional Exhibitions
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 a year, (regular show, "One-Foot" show, special outreach shows, youth art & others). Different art professionals are selected as jurors for each show assuring exhibitions of high quality and great variety. Jurors' Choice and Honorable Mention certificates are awarded at monthly public receptions.
Education
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.
Outreach
A call to artists to respond to social and community issues. This is a unique visual art venue that marries the artist's talent with community awareness. Some previous exhibitions have been:
"Winged Victory -- Transcending Breast Cancer"
"Art Without Frontiers/Hasta La Raya"
"eARTh" -- environmental awareness
"Our Healing Arts" -- AIDS awareness
International Youth Art Exchange.
Social outreach through the visual arts continue to be an important part of SDAI's mission.

Summer C Note
SDAI's C-Note event is the most anticipated, lively and capricious of our programs/fundraisers. C-Note consists of original artwork by our members--emerging regional artists--that is sold right off the walls for one ($100), two ($200) or three ($300) C-Notes. It gives new and experienced art collectors alike an opportunity to purchase original works at prices below the cost of the artwork. The proceeds are split 50-50; half to SDAI to support our programs and facility and half to the artist to defray materials cost and to support continued art-making.
