Local artists reimagine San Diego Museum of Art.

I absolutely love this exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Art!

Local artists have reimagined the Spanish Colonial Revival façade of the museum, an iconic landmark in the heart of Balboa Park.

The exhibition in Gallery 6 is titled Local Visions: Reimagining the Façade. What a perfect way to help celebrate the SDMA Centennial! The art is on view through July 26, 2026.

The participating artists are Stefanie Bales, John Chang, Hilary Dufour, Annie Holley, Wagner Humphreys, Mary Jhun, Lori Mitchell, Tim Novara, Brandon Palma, and Susan Stone.

Perhaps you recognize some of these names. I personally recall photographing street art created by two of the artists. To see art that Hilary Dufour painted in Pacific Beach, click here. To see the distinctive art of Mary Jhun all around San Diego, click here.

Here are a few examples of the San Diego Museum of Art’s reimagined façade…
