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 at midday. Please bring your own bagged lunch or feel free to visit one of the restaurants close by on our provided list.

This program was curated by Lou Niles, Executive Director of the Oceanside International Film Festival; Oceanside Cultural District Steering Committee Member; beloved DJ for  91x  longest-running show, Loudspeaker; Executive Producer at Love Machine Films and champion of the San Diego music scene.  

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.
