Medal Of Distinction 2018

Bram and Sandy Dijkstra

Bram and Sandy Dijkstra have been generous in their financial contributions to OMA, including funds for exhibitions and exhibition catalogs, as well as the donation of James Hubbell’s Opus, the 1972 bronze sculpture installed on the OMA terrace. Bram and Sandy have been long-time supporters and actively promote OMA at every opportunity. They have facilitated collaborations with San Diego History Center and fostered connections with other local art institutions and collectors.

Bram has volunteered his time to curate several very popular exhibitions including Naked: 20^th Century Nudes from the Dijkstra Collection and Masterpieces of San Diego Painting: Fifty Works from Fifty Years, 1900-1950. Sandy has established relationships to promote OMA through associated local and regional press coverage that enhanced OMA attendance and awareness. The couple has also opened their homes to share their collections with various OMA membership groups.

Robin Douglas

Since 2015, Robin Douglas has given so much of her heart and volunteered hundreds of hours to OMA in support of education programming. Her popular Art History and Bucket List lecture series both enjoyed sold-out audiences and devoted attendees. She has conducted a number of art workshops focused on media including papermaking, painting, assemblage, color theory, fiber art, and ceramics; art movements including Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, and Baroque; and artists such as Basquiat, O'Keeffe, Rousseau, and Matisse—to name just a few. Her classes and lectures have brought OMA hundreds of attendees, helped encourage new members, and generated fees totaling more than $24,000 and counting (totals as of April 2018).

Douglas currently serves on the OMA Board of Trustees. She has taken the lead as Chair of the Education Committee and has served on the Development Committee, The Museum Ball Committee, and the Art Auction Committee.
