The Fallbrook School of the Arts in San Diego North County will host its annual open house next Saturday, January 14.

This spring, the Extension Division of San Diego State University will offer a non-credit course in art history on the SDSU campus. This is a rare opportunity for art lovers who majored in other subjects like engineering or economics to acquire a rigorous education in art history at a major research university.
