Borrego Art Institute is a contemporary art institute and nonprofit organization that opened to the public in 2005 as a partnership between businessman Dennis Nourse and Borrego Springs artist Nita Wipper. The institute is located within a historic retail building designed in 1949 by Kesling Modern Structures that was reconstructed and renovated for the institute's use in 2005. Rotating art shows are hosted at the institute, featuring the works of top regional artists, including an annual summer show that serves as a mixed media platform for the city's top artists. A variety of adult and child art workshops are also offered by the institute at its pottery studio and ArtFarm Gardens. Visitors may enjoy the institute's Kesling's Kitchen restaurant, a quick-casual restaurant serving Neapolitan-style flatbread pizzas and sandwiches cooked in a Mugnaini wood-fired oven.
