Dear Members,
The opening reception for The Southern California Awards
Exhibition on April 10 was an affair to be proud of. Our juror,
Andi Campognone, selected an outstanding show truly
showcasing the quality and breadth of artwork being created
here in Southern California. The amount of entries made
the jury process a long one. SDAI allowed for additional
awards to be presented based on the jurors input due to the
exceptional work submitted. Along with the cash awards we
presented 12 additional awards.
Jurors Acclaim Awards: Reed Cardwell for Looking,
Jackie Dotson for As the Sun Descends, Charles Held
for Uncovered, Laura Lehman for Stay and Stephanie
Mead for The Journey.

This years SoCal Awards Exhibition was also the staging
for the presentation of two awards and honors from SDAI.
The Ginger award, named after the exceptional person,
artist, patron, wife, mother and friend Ginger Wallace, honors
an individual or organization demonstrating exceptional
support to regional visual arts or artists. This 10th Ginger
Award was presented to Ruth Hoffman, who embodies the
spirit and nature of this award. Ruth Hoffman has been
involved with SDAI for over 12 years. She held the position
of Board Treasurer for many years and also dened part of
her large art collection San Diego School, where artists of
SDAI are represented. The Palette Award was presented
to Jim Hubbell, a name well known here in So Cal as well as
internationally and for many reasons. Accepting for Jim was
his son Drew Hubbell, for which we are grateful. Jim and his
son Drew do the SoCal region very proud not only in the ne
arts but in the method and length of time they have served
this community. We are very proud to have honored Jim for
his wonderful artwork and his exceptional professionalism
married with love of the environment and community.

The San Diego Art Institute: Can you hear me now?
Once voted San Diegos best-kept secret, the San Diego Art Institute is marketing
itself slowly and surely to step away from that moniker. Even though it is a positive
one for the organization, it sheds light on the obvious. Why dont more people know
this 65year-old organization and its work?
SDAI endeavors to support the making of quality art in all media, as a reection of
the San Diego areas diverse population. SDAI is available and accessible to the
community, it provides a nurturing environment for artists professional development,
to promulgate local, national and international recognition, and to connect artists
with the potential for increasing income and exhibition opportunities.
So, with all that said, who are we and what do we do? SDAI is a 501(c)(3)
nonprot art and community gallery. We are dedicated to:
Actively promoting California artists, the arts, and arts education.
Providing opportunities for artists and supporting activities that contribute to
their continued creativity and development.
Fostering a sense of community by having public monthly exhibitions and special
events that increase awareness, stimulate respectful yet authentic dialogue,
encourage exploration, and aid in the understanding of communities and the
issues that impact and interest them.
SDAI is neither a traditional museum nor a for-prot gallery for-prot gallery; rather we function
much like a municipal gallery and offer a comprehensive look at the visual art
scene here in San Diego. SDAI is unique in that its exhibitions offer the individual an
opportunity to experience the contemporary visual arts of the Southern California/
Baja region in a professional and elegant setting, as well as offering the regional
artist an opportunity for exposure, thereby supporting both the local and visitor
community. SDAI lls in the gap between the past and the present here in Balboa
Park.
Education and outreach rank high on the goals of SDAI and programs, lectures,
classes and bus trips are part of its schedule of events. SDAIs Educational
Department and its facility at Ray Street are able to offer a variety of programs
and public events for youth, family, student, and adult audiences. The very versatile
Art Box 1 and Art Box 2 programs strengthen SDAIs ties to the community
and expand museum audiences. Using SDAIs exhibitions as a vehicle, those two
programs promote public understanding, the appreciation of contemporary art, and
its relationships to our everyday life. These programs provide unique opportunities
for the public to become closely engaged with the exhibition and to come in close
contact with contemporary (living) artists.
Outreach Through Exhibition Outreach Through Exhibition is a unique concept that engages the visual arts
for an understanding of the value of the visual arts beyond aesthetics. SDAI has
partnered with many organizations to show the integral value to the community of
the visual arts as it relates to intrinsic issues of self-esteem, self-worth, academic
achievement, healing, creative processes, abstract-thought process, language acuity,
and early childhood and developmental processes. SDAI has developed original
exhibitions directly related to community issues like the border, health, healing, and
cross-generational dialogue. This program of exhibition and partnership is meant
to show our community that the visual arts and artists are integral and necessary
and not a luxury that is subject to budget cutbacks.
SDAI recognizes the value of cooperation and consolidation to create an
organization with a rm base in accountability and professionalism. We have in
recent years acquired two other organizations that expand and fulll our offerings
not only to the artist but the community in general--COVA: Combined Organizations
for the Visual Arts and SDAD: San Diego Art Department. The consolidation of

Correspondences and Elevation
When I started to organize the pieces that now constitute
this series, I used canvases that were identical in height
but variable in width. They t together both physically
and in content, like stanzas of a poem. Some of these
paintings were originally created as diptychs, and the
diptychs appear in their entirety here.
The arrangement and composition of this group of
paintings invites change. This composition could absorb
new paintings; pieces could be reorganized and presented
differently in spaces of different proportions.
For this exhibition, I considered the dynamics of the space
rst and experimented with the size of the wall and the
scale of the art, and the way one can read the piece as a
whole from a distance and read each element when being
up close.
Each element is a result of my experiments with outdoor
spaces. This exhibition is an opportunity for me to
experiment with bringing these elements into a relationship
with indoor space.
I borrowed the title Correspondences and Elevation
from two of my favorite Baudelaire poems. Those poems
express a connection to a sequence of scenes from a life
and a living landscape.

Solo Show SDAI June 18 July 18, 2010
Crosses, Shrines and Tributes
There is something very special about the process of taking
something old and making new of it. It is a metamorphosis like
our transitory lives. The parts that go into a piece have had lives
as something else. Now they are given a second life in a magical
way. The mundane needs to be a bit more whimsical!
Van Goghs ear, Brancusis soap dish, Cross for Safe Travel and
shrines to Sleepy, The Black Madonna, and St. Vitus are found in
this gallery sanctuary.
My vision and imagery are inuenced by art history, Mexican,
Oceanic and African folk art, superstitions, fairy tales and myth,
childhood toys, nostalgic tools, dreams and intuition.
The objects used are found objects. Many have come from the
debris left by our 2007 San Diego res (Harris Fire). I frequently
visit thrift shops, swap meets and garage sales. I am drawn to
feminine things like high-heeled shoes, dolls, hands, kitchenware,
irons, toys and small bottles as well as masculine saws, tools
and broken machinery.
Every artwork has a story and history to tell. One wonders
about each part and if it was some sort of old relic, machine or
discarded item. How was it used?
About Me
Susan Osborn lives in Bonita, CA and is currently teaching
drawing and painting classes at The Athenaeum and the San
Diego Art Department. She taught art for seventeen years at
The Bishops School in La Jolla. Her varied teaching experience
includes art and photography classes at Southwestern College
and numerous private lessons.
Susan received her Master of Arts degree from Cal State
University, San Diego. She has held numerous exhibitions
and won many prizes for her work, including exhibitions at the
San Diego Museum of Art, the Palo Alto Research Center
(PARC-Xerox) and at the Museo Internacional de Electrograa,
Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha in Cuenca, Spain.
In 2007, Susan took a class from Michael deMeng in assemblage
and a whole new art world opened up to her. The experience
of transforming the old and discarded into mysterious relics
has changed the way she looks at society and what we do with
common ordinary things around us.

these organizations into programs of SDAI was done in a
spirit of wisdom and cooperation to benet the growth of
the visual arts as a whole. The acquisition of SDAD extends
our physical presence out of Balboa Park and brings us back
to our earlier roots of art-making and professional artistic
development. Most recently SDAD has developed the Plein
Air Paint-out and exhibition, a juried competition of plein
air artworks recently done in the North Park area. We also
in our advocacy role feel that the community on and around
Ray Street needs support to solidify the emerging art and
gallery community. In addition to advocacy, the North Park
for the Arts program is developing and marketing a gallery
guide and seeks nancing of artworks on the University
Avenue corridor and pocket parks. This group is essential in
moving forward the opportunity for a true artist community.
Be involved.
In order to better service its programs, SDAI has reorganized
its exhibition schedule in order to have its two awards
shows in alternating years. This year we presented both
the Ginger and the Palette Awards during the current
Southern California Exhibition. Our most deserving and
distinguished recipients were Ruth Hoffman and James
Hubbell respectively.
SDAIs steady growth is due to dedicated people and
volunteers, including Board Members and longtime friends.
We need to focus on engaging the funding community and
directly requesting nancial support from all constituents to
properly run this organization.
SDAI is well worth the investment. Please step forward to
support SDAI.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
Sincerely,
Timothy Field
Executive Director
