About
The Mandeville Art Gallery is an institute for transformative contemporary art.
Previously known as the University Art Gallery, the Mandeville Art Gallery is a long-standing fixture on the UC San Diego campus with a five-decade history of presenting innovative art in the context of a major research university.
Managed by the School of Arts and Humanities and located on the west end of the Mandeville Center for the Arts, the Mandeville Art Gallery operates as a venue for artistic exhibitions and events serving both the university and local community, and it newly re-opened after extensive renovations in March 2023.
Meet the Director and Chief Curator
The Mandeville Art Gallery is led by seasoned gallery Director and Chief Curator Ceci Moss, who spearheads planning and execution of innovative exhibitions, oversees long-term exhibition planning and manages all other aspects of Mandeville Art Gallery operations.
In recognition of Director and Chief Curator Ceci Moss’s compelling vision, the Mandeville Art Gallery has been awarded a three-year programming grant by the New York-based Teiger Foundation. The grant is designed to advance innovative curatorial practice in contemporary art, with freedom to support a range of projects, from exhibitions to public programs and new commissions.
