City of Chula Vista – Exhibit A Municipality: City of Chula Vista Project Name: City of Chula Vista Art Exhibit Capacity Expansion Project Description: Due to the extremely limited capacity and flexibility to exhibit art at our facilities, we propose the expansion of display structures for our new Casa Casillas art center, as well as the gallery
exhibit
areas
in
our
three
library
locations:
Civic
Center
Library,
South
Chula
Vista
Library,
and
the
new
Millenia
Library.
We
will
do
this
through
the
purchase
of
high-quality
movable
walls
as
well
as
pedestals
in
the
early
part
of
2026.
The
project
will
be
implemented
by
Erwin
Magbanua,
Principal
Librarian
&
Cultural
Arts
Manager.
Adding moveable walls and pedestals will provide us with the ability and flexibility to finally host
major
exhibitions
at
our
designated
art
spaces.
We
will
be
able
to
offer
art
exhibits
that
are
complete
and
provide
genuine
gallery
environments.
This
will,
in
turn,
foster
the
sense
that
the
City
of
Chula
Vista
provides
true
and
meaningful
art
show
experiences,
which
will
not
only
appeal
to
the
general
and
artistic
community
but
will
hopefully
signal
to
the
greater
San
Diego
region
that
we
are
an
art
destination.
Time Frame and Location: The project is expected to start in early 2026 and will be utilized at three City facilities throughout
the
year
