The Twenty Fifth Anniversary of OMA

A Historic Occasion

February 26th 2022



We Celebrate an Institution which changed the Face of the City of Oceanside California. In this New Year of the new we the celebrate the history and creation of our Oceanside Museum of Art. We will gather in the New Seabird Hotel to raise a glass to the Founders and Supporters of the Museum which did in fact change the Cultural Soul, and the architectural fabric of the City. They gave our residents and visitors a new and glorious gathering place. We had a new Home for us!..


Our cultural art visions were met with citizens eager for change for our City. The challenges of an old building which had been designated for storage for the City Clerk was transformed into a place of wonder for our creative spirits for the artists, the patrons, residents and visitors.

The Supporters who have championed the effort with extraordinary funding support which in its self is a creative element. For they have created the place where the Arts and Artists can flourish and reside. To Create a Place of Art is the highest and most fundamental form of creative effort. Without these creative supporters, the arts would not exist. We raise a glass to these creators for a Space for Art in Oceanside, OMA, the institutional face which changed Oceanside from a military town into a City of incredible energy for change, the a melding of our Cultural Soul.
