CATHERINE AND ROBERT PALMER GALLERY

2026 Athenaeum Faculty & Staff Exhibition

July 11–August 8, 2026

The Faculty & Staff Exhibition at the Palmer Gallery at the Athenaeum Art Center showcased the work of teaching artists from the Athenaeum’s School of the Arts, whose knowledge and expertise span a broad range of fine-art disciplines. The exhibition highlighted the versatility of the Athenaeum’s faculty through a diverse selection of current work in painting, book arts, printmaking, ceramics, illustration, and other media and techniques.

The dedication of these teaching artists to lifelong learning and creative exploration reflects the values at the heart of the School of the Arts and continues to inspire students in the Athenaeum’s Logan Heights and La Jolla studios. The exhibition also featured work by Athenaeum Music & Arts Library staff members who are practicing artists, reflecting the shared creativity and passion for the arts that extend throughout the organization.

Together, the works presented in the Faculty & Staff Exhibition reflected the Athenaeum’s ongoing commitment to fine arts education and its role as a vibrant cultural hub in San Diego’s arts community.
