Programs: Free

In this meet-and-greet with artist Matt Devine, learn about his immersive installation Walk with Me.

Matt will lead a brief tour of the gallery while in conversation with OMA's Director of Exhibitions and Collections, Katie Dolgov. Questions are encouraged.

Leave behind the chaos of modern life and step into a tranquil space where the restorative qualities of nature take center stage.

This program is free with regular museum admission.

Neurodiverse Expressions

Join us on June 1 for a community celebration with The Art of Autism during our inclusive resource fair. This public fair on OMA’s terrace will include vendors working in the neurodiverse space, bringing together practitioners, resources, and community partners to elevate the understanding and inclusion of neurodiverse individuals.

This month’s art activity will be inspired by Nicholas Kontaxis and his colorful paintings. We invite guests to view his work in the exhibition and find inspiration for their own multi-media collage.
