Oceanside Museum of Art and San Diego History Center (SDHC) have collaborated with some of San Diego’s top art scholars to produce a joint exhibition that offers visitors a diverse and contemporary perspective from which to view our region’s landscape.

The dual exhibition—the first such collaboration between SDHC and OMA—is a juried invitational with submissions from local artists. The exhibition will present approximately 25 regional artists and comprise 60-80 artworks in total. Works will be split evenly between the two institutions. The lead organizer of the exhibition is Charlotte Cagan, Executive Director, San Diego History Center. Bram Dijkstra, renowned author and art scholar, is the lead curator of the exhibition.
