Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego

Support young artists at the public opening of their showcase on February 13, featuring Mesa Verde Middle School's Advance Art class.

Through Extended School Partnership (ESP), MCASD Educators empower schools across San Diego to use the Museum as an extension of the classroom.

Throughout the semester, MCASD Educators have been visiting classrooms and leading tours that speak to how artists in the collection build their practice. Students learned how artists develop processes that speak to their conceptual interests, while finding inspiration and routines that sustain them.

In turn, these young artists have created 25 works that explore their own developing relationship with art.

The showcase in open from February 13th – March 15 during our gallery hours: Thursday – Saturday from 11AM – 7PM and Sunday from 11AM – 5PM.

Extended School Partnership (ESP) empowers 6th – 12th-grade teachers to use the Museum as an extension of the classroom. Students and teachers engage in creative thinking and cross-disciplinary learning by integrating contemporary art into curricula and using the Museum as a learning resource.
