Saddleback Art Gallery is a non-profit gallery dedicated primarily to education, the enrichment of student learning, and elevating the cultural landscape of our community. Our Art Gallery provides students and South Orange County an important outlet for creative expression in traditional and contemporary art through exhibitions, visiting artist lectures, workshops, and special events.
The gallery is an integral part of the instructional program and regarded as a learning lab and extension of the classroom. Students can enroll in ARTH 100 - Art Gallery Display & Exhibition Design, and learn how to plan, design, and implement gallery exhibitions.
