Diego Rivera Gallery
{{Short description|Art gallery in San Francisco, US}}
The Diego Rivera Gallery is a building, formerly a student-directed art gallery and exhibition space for work by San Francisco Art Institute students.
History
The gallery provided an opportunity for BFA, MFA and Post-Baccalaureate students to present their work in a gallery setting, to use the space for large-scale installations, or to experiment with artistic concepts and concerns in a public venue. Exhibitions changed weekly and were open on Tuesdays. About 40 shows per year were scheduled, and close to 200 students were exhibited each year.[http://www.diegoriveragallery.com "About the Diego Rivera Gallery."] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100612040909/http://www.diegoriveragallery.com/ |date=June 12, 2010 }}
In ex-faculty member Charles Boone's time at SFAI, he attended nearly every opening reception.
