UCSD to launch newart degree program
by Robert L. Pincus for the Sign on San Diego, September 23, 2007
It's become de rigueur for artists to seek the Master of Fine Arts degree, particularly if they want to teach. A broad swath of universities, colleges and art schools offer this sort of master's degree. So does the visual arts department at the University of California San Diego. But in the fall of 2008, it will also begin admitting artists to a new and novel Ph.D. concentration in its Program in Art and Media History, Theory and Criticism – the doctorate in Art Practices.

Visual Arts Fair ‘Beyond the Border’ to Debut Downtown in ’08
Select Galleries Will Display Artwork at International Event
By Pat Broderick, San Diego Business Journal Staff, September 10, 2007
San Diego art aficionado Ann Berchtold wants the world to know about the San Diego region’s vibrant visual arts community. Her medium for the message: The Beyond the Border Contemporary Art Fair.
Tentatively scheduled for September 2008 at the Omni Hotel and Exhibition Center, this inaugural event will feature more than 200 works by established and emerging artists from select groups of galleries in North America and Latin America.
Partnering with Julie Schraeger, director of development for Beyond the Border, Berchtold wants to create what she calls a “one-stop shopping” event for collectors, featuring artworks from a select group of galleries in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland, Ore.; Arizona; and parts of Mexico — what she refers to as a north-south axis of art.
“This is being done in most of the major cities — an art fair of this level,” said Berchtold, director of the L Street Gallery. “You invite the best galleries you can and they bring their top artists.”
Partners in the event are the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the San Diego Museum of Art, UC San Diego’s Stuart Collection, the UCSD Department of Visual Arts, and the Mexican Consulate in San Diego.
