Event Details
This exhibition will feature a dynamic, site-specific installation of "Tsikuris" or God's Eyes, sacred spiritual objects crafted from brightly colored yarn. Created over the course of workshops throughout February, the Tsikuri (meaning "the power to see and understand things unknown" in the Huichol language), are deeply significant symbols of protection and spiritual connection. Traditionally, these objects are woven by families to mark key moments in life, such as the growth of a child, with each additional color representing a year of life.

Event Details
Join OMA's Artist Alliance at Sparks Gallery for the reception of Elemental on Sunday, May 25, from 5–8pm. OMA’s Artist Alliance is thrilled to present 38 artworks in their third exhibition at Sparks Gallery in San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter downtown. Selected by juror Sonya Sparks, many of the artworks are loosely themed to the title, Elemental, work that explores the vibrancy and vitality of the core elements—earth, air, fire, and water—that shape the world around us. The exhibition aims to evoke the raw, powerful essence of these elements, revealing their interconnectedness with life and the environment. The Elemental theme highlights how these fundamental components permeate our daily existence, inspire creativity, and foster growth, yet also have the capacity for destruction and transformation.
