About the Irvine Fine Arts Center
Opening at Heritage Community Park in May 1980, this 18,000-square-foot facility provides art camps, classes, events, and open studio programs for all ages in fully equipped art studios for drawing and painting, ceramics, photography, printmaking, jewelry, and culinary arts.
Contemporary and cultural exhibitions showcase local and regional artists. Programs are designed to expand community awareness, understanding and sensitivity to art, and provide leisurely viewing enjoyment.
About the Great Park Arts Complex
This 106,000-square-foot cultural campus opened in July 2011 at Great Park. Designed from repurposed military structures, this interdisciplinary, public arts program supports exhibitions, performances, and workshops with an eclectic presentation of art enhancement programs.
The shaded outdoor performance plaza enhanced by 54 Canary Islands date palms is surrounded by three civic spaces dedicated to community engagement—the Gallery presents work from nationally and internationally recognized artists with curated themes designed to attract a diverse audience; the Studio supports regional collaborations with academic institutions and arts organizations; and Hangar 244 is dedicated to site-specific exhibitions that share stories from the area’s agricultural roots through Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro.
Great Park’s Hangar 244 is subject to closures due to private event rentals and/or larger city-wide events. For building closure status, please call 949-724-6599.
About Art at City Hall
City Hall expanded its 17,918-square-foot public area to include a formal exhibition space with three floors of formal display panels. Opening in August 2021, exhibitions serve to promote local artists, showcase artwork created by program participants and instructors, and support the creativity of individuals who live, work, and play in Irvine. Displays have also been curated for conference rooms, reception areas, and offices throughout the building.
