What is Studio Arts?
Join us every other month for Studio Arts, when OMA transforms into an artist’s studio, offering skill-building workshops led by distinguished professor and arts educator Robin Douglas. Inspired by world-renowned artists, and practicing artists with exhibitions at OMA, you will explore different media, techniques, and subjects found in an artist’s studio. This full day workshop held from 10:00am-3:00pm is meant to get you in the art-making groove and develop new approaches to seeing and creating artwork. Whether you have a lifetime practice or are new to expressing yourself, we exchange ideas and techniques in a supportive and challenging environment. Students of all levels are welcome to stretch their creative muscles and build community with us. All supplies and light refreshments for each workshop are included in the cost. A break for lunch and a relaxed discussion will occur midday. Please bring your own bagged lunch or feel free to visit one of the restaurants close by on our provided list.

OMA is creating connections between our diverse community members through art, culture, and food at Street Level Vol. 1: City Music! City Music has always connected people, inspiring different cultures to align across rhythms. OMA’s June Street Level Vol. 1 celebrates the music of our city with its beats, blends, references, and textures. Oceanside grew up listening to drums in the park and grooving to what was being played on the decks -- afro-beat, hip-hop, house music, jazz, mariachi, pop, reggae, salsa, samba, soul, and surf music. Join us to celebrate our cultural community here in Oceanside through the joy of music and dance featuring DJ Kid Riz and Wild 7s Street Dance Krew with guest host Derin Young and appearances by Cadence Dance Project, and Saxophonist Shawn De Lacy. Grab a drink at the bar or a bite to eat from Mak Mak Organic’s Asian street food menu.

How can the art you make, make a difference? This camp will look at ways we can create dynamic and vibrant art from naturally found materials. Campers will make their own paint after isolating pigments from natural materials and make their own unique paper from recycled materials. They will look at tide pools and how they change, then practice plein air painting using paint they created. Their artwork will be included in the Plein Air festival at OMA in July.
