CHANGING TERRAIN: REGIONAL ARTISTS INTERPRET OUR LANDSCAPE
At OMA: August 22, 2026–January 27, 2027
Curatorial Advisory Committee: Katie Dolgov (Director of Exhibitions and Collections at OMA), Tina Zarpour (Vice President of Community Engagement, Education & Collections at SDHC), Johnny Bear Contreras (sculptor and Kumeyaay public artist), and Gabriel Boils Teran (visual artist and cultural agent)
Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA) and the San Diego History Center (SDHC) are thrilled to present Changing Terrain: Regional Artists Interpret Our Landscape, bringing together contemporary artists from Southern California and Baja to explore a region in constant transformation. Selected by a curatorial advisory panel including Johnny Bear Contreras and Gabriel Boils Terán, the exhibition offers fresh perspectives on landscape, revealing how environment, culture, history, and community shape our evolving sense of place. Featuring both invited artists and exceptional works selected through a regional open call, Changing Terrain highlights the diversity of artistic voices redefining the landscape genre. Together, these works capture the beauty, complexity, and resilience of a border region where natural and human histories continually intersect.
See this exhibition simultaneously on view at SDHC, August 22, 2026 through early 2027.
