This exhibition celebrates the creativity and vision of artists from across the region, each offering a unique perspective on the San Diego Museum of Art's iconic Spanish Colonial Revival facade. As part of the museum's centennial celebrations, the "Local Perspectives" exhibition stemmed from an open call for local artists to reimagine the museum's landmark exterior from a contemporary perspective. The call received an enthusiastic response, yielding numerous inspiring submissions that showcased the artistic talent of our community. Ultimately, we selected a series of works to reflect the diversity of artistic approaches and the shared emotional connection artists have with this historic building.

Graciela Iturbide (Mexican, born in 1942) is arguably Latin America's most renowned living photographer. For fifty years, she has captured images of Mexico and beyond with a unique, poetic perspective. This exhibition will showcase her most representative works, primarily taken in Mexico, but also including pieces from Italy, India, Panama, and the United States. For Iturbide, photography is an exploration, stemming from her profound curiosity about different lifestyles—even within Mexico itself—and her exploration of how history, tradition, and ritual shape contemporary experiences.

In 1987, the San Diego Museum of Art received a valuable donation from the Baldwin Foundation, comprising over one hundred paintings, drawings, and prints. The foundation was then managed by Maruja Baldwin Hodges. The donation came from the collection of Baldwin M. Baldwin, a connoisseur of Toulouse-Lautrec art whose collection was among the world's largest and was first exhibited at the San Diego Museum of Art in 1972. To celebrate this donation and the museum's centenary, this exhibition will feature approximately fifty works from the museum's Toulouse-Lautrec collection.
