History
The Borrego Art Institute was founded on November 1, 2004 with the leasing of a former restaurant space on Palm Canyon Drive, “The Mall”. 
Renovations began immediately, a Board was formed, and The Gallery opened on March 1, 2005. A 501 © 3 application was filed shortly thereafter.
Over 40 Borrego artists currently have their work on display. A portion of the sales price on each piece of art is retained by the gallery and used to offset some of the ongoing operating costs. Beyond this, the Institute is reliant on donations from the public.
Borrego Art Institute continues to evolve with the help of people who embrace our desire and dream to create and share art in the Borrego Valley.
