“Plein air painting checks many boxes for me: exercising eye—hand—brain, fresh air, beautiful places, nature, and painting with fellow artists. The San Diego region is the ultimate place to paint, but if I had the chance to be transported to another ultimate place of my choice, this week I would set up my easel at the edge of a remote high cliff (alongside and across from many castles) overlooking the Danube river, near the Black Forest of southwest Germany. There’d be an onion domed or Rococo church in the distance, depending on the direction I faced.” –Artist Kathryn Peterson

Oceanside Museum of Art's Artist Alliance members were invited to submit artwork created en plein air for A Breath of Fresh Air, an exhibition taking place  in downtown Oceanside at the Brooks Theater Gallery.

Oceanside is one of only 14 designated California Cultural Districts and home to an eclectic, emerging art scene. OMA seeks to activate creativity in the community through partnerships with local organizations such as the  Oceanside Theatre Company at the historic Brooks Theatre in order to support our partners in
celebrating art and creative expression.

Artwork was juried and exhibition layout designed by Carol Naegele, Brooks Theater Gallery Curator. This is a plein air-inspired exhibition; all artwork was created outdoors on location or inspired by local outdoor scenes. Many artists submitted works created during OMA’s Plein Air Festival, which took place July 24-30, 2021. 

Each of these artworks are available for sale to adorn your home. For pricing and purchasing, please contact Brooks Theater Gallery curator Carol Naegele at cnaegele@oceansidetheatre.org.
