Art Auction Closing Event
This year, the Art Auction is taking a dynamic turn with everything up for bid online! The wide-ranging collection of 132 artworks is lively—sometimes edgy, sometimes traditional, frequently unexpected—but never ordinary. This is an exceptional opportunity to collect pieces by 81 prominent Southern California artists from along the cultural corridor between Los Angeles and Tijuana in price ranges that are approachable for collectors at any level. Register for access and start bidding on your favorite pieces now. Then, be sure to join this dynamic live stream event that will include a rousing Live Auction in addition to the conclusion of the Silent Auction.
Lecture: The Art Of Collecting
The practice of collecting art boasts a rich history that traces back centuries and transcends nationality. Join Robin Douglas for an exploration of some of the world’s greatest art collections including those of Catherine the Great, the Medicis, and J. Paul Getty, as well as a host of other unique figures who have cemented their legacy in the art world over a lifetime of acquisitions. Perhaps you will be inspired to join their ranks and acquire work from OMA’s upcoming virtual Art Auction, adding to the contingent of diverse and personal collections full of enchanted stories and historic treasures.
Coffee And Conversation With OMA Artist Alliance
We’ve been asked to stay home, but we don’t have to be alone. Join Artist Alliance for a cup of coffee and enjoy some conversation with fellow artists. Sculptors, painters, photographers, artists of all disciplines are welcome.
Join the conversation from a computer, tablet, or smartphone. You will need an internet connection, speakers, and a microphone.
Feel free to snap a photo of what you are currently working on to share with the group—especially if you participated in the Plein Air Paint In earlier in the day. Send a copy of the image prior to the event by following these simple steps:
- Make sure your image is a jpeg file and is sized to at least 1920 pixels on the longest side.
- Save your file as “CNC artwork_[YOUR NAME]”
- Email your image to Larry Vogel at vogelart@cox.net with the subject line “OMA First Sunday: [YOUR NAME]”
Plein Air Paint In
With the Plein Air Paint Out on hold for the time being, everyone can continue painting with the Plein Air Paint In! Open to artists at any level—paint the world through your window, in your backyard, or from your studio during the event’s usual time. Afterward, join OMA’s Artist Alliance with a rejuvenating drink of your choice for virtual Coffee and Conversation to share your work.
