Construction has started on the new Diego Rivera Performing Arts Center with a projected finish in Fall 2028.
SFMOMA & City College of San Francisco’s partnership on the historic display of Diego Rivera’s Pan American Unity mural ended in January 2024 after the mural was viewed by 600,000. See the Emmy-winning NBC documentary on the project of moving the mural.
“My mural which I am painting now—it is about the marriage of the artistic expression of the North and of the South on this continent, that is all. I believe in order to make an American art, a real American art, this will be necessary, this blending of the art of the Indian, the Mexican, the Eskimo, with the kind of urge which makes the machine, the invention in the material side of life, which is also an artistic urge, the same urge primarily but in a different form of expression.” – Diego Rivera
