The vision of the San Francisco State University Fine Arts Gallery is to serve a broad and varied audience that includes students, faculty and staff of San Francisco State University, along with the local arts community and the greater population of the region, while carrying out a program that reflects the range of disciplines taught by San Francisco State’s School of Art. To accomplish this, they organize professional artist exhibitions and present the work of student artists. Lectures, performances, film screenings and other public programs serve to expand the discussions initiated in their exhibitions. Student involvement in all aspects of organizing and presenting exhibitions in the Fine Arts Gallery is key to the program.
