Connect. Create. Showcase.

Foothills Art Association (FAA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community art gallery serving San Diego County, dedicated to advancing the visual arts through exhibitions, education, and free public access to art. FAA supports artists while engaging the broader community through inclusive programming designed to encourage creativity, learning, and cultural connection.

FAA offers both a traditional art gallery and a digital art gallery, making it one of the few nonprofit galleries in the region to actively support traditional art, photographic, digital, and AI-assisted art. Our rotating exhibitions provide opportunities for artists at all levels while offering the public free access to diverse and contemporary artwork.

In addition to exhibitions, FAA provides educational programs including artist demonstrations, workshops, lectures, and community events. These programs are designed to support emerging, student, and professional artists while making the arts approachable and accessible to the public. The Digital Gallery exhibitions are open to both members and non-members, reinforcing FAA’s mission of access, inclusion, and opportunity.

As a nonprofit organization, FAA exists to serve the public good. All programs are focused on education, artistic development, and community enrichment rather than commercial representation. Gallery admission is free, ensuring that art remains accessible to individuals and families throughout the region.

Foothills Art Association is more than an exhibition space—it is a community resource where traditional and digital art coexist, artists are supported through education and opportunity, and the public is invited to experience, learn, and connect through the visual arts.
