Off The Wall is a conversation series that brings community leaders together with artists and curators to discuss current affairs which impact the health and well being of our region now and in the future. Artists often exist at the forefront of societal change, reflecting the mood of the current moment and trends, innovating towards change, and bringing challenging concepts to light. In this series, we look at the role the museum has in bringing art and community together to be champions of culture. Part moderated conversation, part audience participation, we take the art off the walls and into our everyday lives.

Off The Wall | How is the world changing for artists?
As our 2023/24 Artist Alliance Biennial exhibition comes to a close we are bringing together Artist Alliance Co-Chair Emeritus and photographer Larry Vogel, Artist Alliance Biennial Exhibition Grand Prize award winner, painter, and former Disney animator Marshall Toomey, and Professor of Art at Mira Costa College and installation artist, Xuchi Naungayan Eggleton to discuss how the world is changing for artists. Moderated by OMA’s Director of Exhibitions and Collections Katie Dolgov, this conversation invites community leaders to engage with the audience and think about what a career as an artist might look like, how one defines success, and how new tools are shaping what we understand art to be.

The production will be held on February 17 at 7:00pm and February 18 at 2:30pm. Find out more and reserve your tickets here. Then, join us at OMA for a free panel and reception on February 24.
Moderated by Kristi Hawthorn from Oceanside Historical Society, Rushell Gordon, entrepreneur/owner of Bliss Tea and Treats and producer of, “Generational Black Pioneers. Talking with Terry Johnson, Oceanside, and San Diego County’s first black mayor; Robbie Hass, the first black President of the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce; Lillian Adams, former Oceanside teacher, school counselor, OUSD School Board President and community advocate; and Eddie Parks, nephew of pioneering Oceanside businesswoman Charlesetta Reece Allen.
From the Oceanside Theater Company at The Brooks:
“While the setting will be in the 1960s with the changes made during the Civil Rights Movement, and the turmoil of the Vietnam War, the production seeks to show the parallel of the very real struggles still being faced today. Stories will include the first black teachers in Oceanside’s school district, Oceanside and San Diego County’s first black mayor Terry Johnson, the first black police chief Kedrick Sadler, and the first black President of the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce, Robbie Hass.”
