The Borrego Art Institute is a nonprofit organization that aims to inspire and enrich the Borrego Springs community and beyond. People come to the BAI to experience, create, and enjoy all art forms — from pottery to gardening, painting to photography. Our distinctive campus features the McQuown/Wermers Gallery and the ArtPark gardens as well as an off-campus pottery studio. The BAI is a community resource, gathering place, and major supporter of adult and children’s education, participation, and art appreciation. Please join us for classes, workshops, shows and other events, and become a member. Whether you are an artist, a Borrego Springs resident, a visitor, an art lover, or simply a curious explorer, we look forward to welcoming you.
EXHIBITIONS
