Exhibitions: Artist Alliance

Enjoy refreshments and experience a fast-paced and in-depth artwork critique of up to 10 juried artworks! Jurors Danielle Deery, Independent Curator; Patric Stillman, The Studio Door, Hillcrest; and Chris Padilla, UC San Diego Craft Center will select the works from submissions and will also run the in-person session.

Art lovers and artists curious about the process of a professional critique are encouraged to attend the session for free as observers. The critique will be followed by a moderated audience Q&A session. Audience members will learn just as much from the feedback given by the professional jurors as those who were selected for the critique. Featuring artwork by: Mieko Anekawa, Marianna Baker, Danni Bao, Lucy Boyd-Wilson, Neil Brooks, Theo DeHart, and Birdy Harrison.

Note: Registering for this event is not the same as submitting your artwork for consideration to be critiqued. Submissions to be one of the featured artists are closed. 

If you’re looking for fellowship but can’t make it in person to OMA, join our Virtual Art Share series from home or wherever you are with refreshments of your choice, and enjoy some conversation with fellow artists! Sculptors, painters, photographers, and artists of all disciplines are welcome. Take part in this conversation via a computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Content Advisory:

This is a supportive peer group for artists of all experience levels, engaging with a broad range of subject matter, including but not limited to: artificial intelligence, anime, landscapes, various forms of sculpture, photography, portraiture, figurative work, LGBTQ themes, sexuality, politics, and war. Because the artwork and discussions may include mature or sensitive content, participants under the age of 18 must either be accompanied by a parent or guardian or have explicit guardian permission to attend. If any participant—adult or underage—prefers to avoid potentially triggering content, we are happy to accommodate by scheduling their presentation earlier in the session to allow for a timely and respectful departure.

This is a small little beach where you can paint waves, palm trees, lifeguard towers, the cute local cafe, or the inlet. Parking is easy and restrooms are convenient.

Open to All Levels!

Whether you're a seasoned plein air painter or just starting your artistic journey, this event is for you! Beginners and experienced painters can find fresh inspiration in the urban and natural landscape.
