ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥

A Center for Creativity

Parks Exhibition Center

52500 Temecula Rd, Idyllwild CA 92549

Located at the heart of the ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ campus, Parks Exhibition Center is a 1,400-square-foot professional gallery that serves as a dynamic space for creative expression, interdisciplinary dialogue, and artistic discovery.

Dedicated in 2002 as a gift from Elizabeth B. Parks, the gallery enriches both the Academy and ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ Programs by showcasing the work of students, faculty, and guest artists.


Academy Exhibits

During the Academy year, Parks Exhibition Center provides students with a professional resource and inclusive space where creative dialogue, installations, and ideas come to life. The gallery features an average of 8–10 exhibitions each academic year (September–May), showcasing work by Visual Arts Department students, faculty, and notable guest artists. While rooted in visual arts, the gallery also serves as a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, offering opportunities for all departments to exhibit creative work.

ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ Exhibits

Each summer, the gallery continues its dynamic programming with eight weeks of rotating exhibitions from June through July. Exhibitions spotlight the creative work of ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ faculty, guest artists, and participants in the ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ Program and the annual Native American Arts Festival Invitational Exhibition. Many of these shows are complemented by artist receptions, offering visitors the chance to engage directly with the creators and explore a curated selection of original artwork and handcrafted jewelry available for purchase.
