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.

Persian Place is excited to bring the magical world of the Shahnameh (Book of Kings) to OMA. Inspired by Ferdowsi’s legendary Persian epic, this family-friendly experience explores the fascinating world of real animals and legendary creatures found in the Shahnameh and Persian mythology. You're invited to make your own creatures inspired by Persian epic stories, including horses, lions, birds, zebras, cheetahs, and the legendary Simurgh.

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!

PLEASE NOTE: An RSVP does not guarantee a table, seat, or supplies. Tables and materials are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are open to everyone, including guests who discover the event and walk in from the street. 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!
