This workshop introduces artists to online tools (including AI) for crafting effective prompts, streamlining writing tasks such as statements and bios, and sparking new ideas. We’ll also cover SEO basics and simple strategies to make your work easier to find online, with practical website examples. Participants will leave with clear, actionable ways to use online tools to support their creativity and strengthen their digital presence.
This is the first session of a three-part professional development series with Cathy Carey, designed to help artists strengthen their careers and expand their reach in today’s evolving art world. From building a strong digital presence to confidently pricing and selling work, these workshops offer practical skills for every stage of an artist’s journey. Workshops may be taken individually or as a complete series. The next sessions will take place on May 5 (Building a Virtual Presence & Marketing Your Art) and July 21 (Pricing Artwork & Selling Online)
A limited number of scholarships are available for artists who wish to attend but cannot support the fees at this time, contact katie@oma-online.org to inquire.

As a regional contemporary art museum committed to presenting and supporting living artists, Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA) affirms its dedication to artistic integrity, authorship, and human creativity. Our mission centers on amplifying the voices and lived experiences of Southern California artists, and we value work grounded in intentionality and personal vision.

Join OMA’s Free First Sundays for Art for All! Each month, OMA welcomes friends and neighbors on Free First Sundays to join in Art for All, our fun hands-on art-making experience led by artists and cultural partners from our community.
In celebration of the Big Read in partnership with Oceanside Public Library, this April’s Art For All draws inspiration from The Seed Keeper. Participants will create native plant clay seed bombs. These are small, sculptural clay forms filled with local, pollinator-friendly native seeds. These unfired clay shapes can be placed in your yard or garden, where the clay will naturally break down and allow the seeds to take root in the soil.
Whether you’re new to art or have your own creative flow, Art for All is the time to let your imagination soar. Visit our current exhibitions to spark your creativity! Explore different art-making materials through creative projects at each session while learning from local and regional artists. Check back each month to see what we’re up to next!
These informal drop-in workshops are open to all ages. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. All materials are provided free of charge, while supplies last. All levels welcome!

In today’s art world, a strong online presence is just as important as the work itself. This workshop helps artists identify their actual and ideal audience and understand who they are really speaking to—collectors, curators, or community. From there, participants will explore how to define a clear brand voice, using archetypes to guide how they present themselves authentically. We’ll break down the major social media channels, showing how to choose the right platforms for your goals, and share practical strategies for creating posts, reels, and videos that truly connect. Artists will leave with the tools to confidently market their work online and build relationships that last.
A limited number of scholarships are available for artists who wish to attend but cannot support the fees at this time, contact katie@oma-online.org to inquire.
