The first classes at Grossmont College were held in 1961, and Cuyamaca College opened in fall 1978. The colleges serve a diverse community of students, primarily from East San Diego County and San Diego, as well as around the state, the nation and more than 50 countries around the world. One of out three East County adults has taken classes at Grossmont or Cuyamaca College. Grossmont’s programs include nursing and the only forensic technology program in San Diego County, while Cuyamaca’s programs include ornamental horticulture, green energy and automotive technology.

Campus Safety and Infrastructure: What Projects Are Identified Under Measure G?

The Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District has identified a range of safety and infrastructure needs across both campuses, including:

▪️Wildfire protection, fire sprinkler systems, and water infrastructure
▪️Aging roofs, leaking pipes, storm drains, and outdated utilities
▪️Electrical, HVAC, campus security, and emergency systems
▪️ADA accessibility improvements, including campus walkways
▪️Classrooms and career and workforce training facilities

At Grossmont College, a critical concern is insufficient water pressure and supply to meet the demands of a major wildfire response. Improvements to fire protection and water infrastructure are among the projects identified under Measure G.

The Hyde at Grossmont College is excited to present our second exhibition of the Fall 2026 Semester, “California Fibers: Tactile Thinking”, now on view through November 12. Come meet the artists this Tuesday, October 27, starting at 4pm, during our evening reception event.

Featuring the work of fourteen members of California Fibers, this exhibition explores how artists express tactile thinking through the medium of textiles. Thinking doesn’t happen only in the mind. For these artists, ideas take shape through the hands - in the pull of a thread, the tension of a weave, the layering of surfaces, and the slow, repeated gestures of making. Each work holds a record of that process, inviting viewers to consider touch as a way of understanding and responding to the world.

Participating artists include Sandy Abrams, Charlotte Bird, Carrie Burckle, Polly Jacobs Giacchina, Lydia Tjioe Hall, Mônica Lóss, Chari Myers, Kathy Nida, Marty Ornish, Michael F. Rohde, Rebecca Smith, Elise Vazelakis, Debra Weiss, and Peggy Wiedemann. Exhibition juried by Alex DeCosta.

California Fibers, founded in 1970, supports artistic growth and professional advancement for contemporary Southern California fiber artists. Their creative expression includes weaving, basketry, sculpture, quilting, embroidery, felting, surface design, knitting, crochet, wearables, and mixed media.

All Hyde Art Gallery exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.
