Connect. Create. Showcase.

At Foothills Art Association, we’re more than a gallery—we’re a creative hub for artists in the La Mesa community. As a member-based association with over 70 years of history, we provide the resources, opportunities, and camaraderie artists need to thrive.

Membership Perks:

  • Exhibit Your Work: Display and sell your art in our downtown La Mesa gallery and our modern online gallery. With eight non-fee shows a year and special juried exhibitions with cash prizes, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get your work seen.

  • Grow Your Craft: Join our monthly meetings for artist demonstrations and lectures. Participate in our weekly special interest groups to hone your skills in watercolor, drawing, oil, acrylic, and life drawing.

  • Be a Featured Artist: Get recognized and host your own artist’s reception as our monthly Featured Artist.

  • Join the Cause: Help support art education for youth and nurture the artistic vibrancy of our local community.
