Lux's vision is to act as San Diego County's primary source for educating the public about the creative process, from conceptual development through the act of making. At Lux, you don't just see finished works of art; you see the artistic process firsthand, observing internationally recognized artists in a working studio environment. As part of this mission, Lux works to support emerging and established artists in the development of new projects through a seasonal residency program; exhibit finished works from Lux residencies alongside the artist's other works; engage the community to foster an appreciation of the living artist and creative process; encourage creative and critical thinking through inquiry, reflection, and discussion of contemporary art practices; implement a project-based learning method with the philosophy that the process is as significant as the final artwork; nurture interdisciplinary learning by integrating new media and common core principles into our onsite and outreach programs.
