Diego Rivera Gallery
The Diego Rivera Gallery is building, formerly a student-directed art gallery and exhibition space for work by San Francisco Art Institute students.
History
The gallery provided 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. Exhibitions changed weekly and were open on Tuesdays. About 40 shows per year were scheduled, and close to 200 students were exhibit each year.[1]
In ex-faculty member Charles Boone's time at SFAI, he attended nearly every opening reception.
Mural
The Making of a Fresco Showing the Building of a City (1931) is one of four fresco murals in the San Francisco Bay Area painted by Mexican artist Diego Rivera.[2] Rivera's mural seems to be painted for and about a working class audience.[3]
