The jurors reviewed slides of the artwork that included drawings, mixed media, paintings, prints, and sculpture and chose 33 works that comprise the show. The OMA Regional 5 is a wonderful way to view a broad scope of styles and techniques from some of the most talented artists of the region. The exhibition continues through November 11, 2007. Visitors attending the preview reception on September 23rd will have a chance to meet the artists and ask questions about their work. Most of the artwork is for sale. Admission for the reception is $8 and includes refreshments prepared by OMA’s own Culinary Arts Council. The public is welcome and members of Oceanside Museum of Art attend free as a benefit of membership. Oceanside Museum of Art is located at 704 Pier View Way in downtown Oceanside.

Doris started as a volunteer at the reception desk in 1997 and joined the Board of Trustees in 2000. Her art and business expertise were invaluable and her financial support significantly advanced the museum. Doris was one of the first Board members to champion the capital campaign for expansion and in recognition of her generous support to that effort, the permanent collection gallery will be named, “The Groves Gallery.” She was a Medal of Distinction honoree in 2002 and her vision for the future of the museum inspired us all. Doris was known for her astute observations and keen sense of humor. She had a lifetime of tales from her travels and adventures around the world and we miss her deeply.
