It was just over twenty five years ago when what started as the dream of a handful of citizens became the reality of an entire community. OMA hosted its first official exhibition in the historic Irving J. Gill building in 1997. This coming year, 2022, is the 25th anniversary of this momentous occasion.   To acknowledge this historic milestone, OMA friends and supporters will be hosting a 25th Anniversary Gala at The Seabird Resort in Oceanside, California on Saturday, February 26, 2022. The Gala will launch a year of festivities, both small and large, as we bring people together to celebrate the transformative power of art.
