Art gallery in San Francisco, US

The Diego Rivera Gallery is a 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 exhibited each year.

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. Rivera's mural seems to be painted for and about a working class audience.
