Off the Wall: Transformative Currents

Off The Wall is a conversation series that brings together community leaders, artists, and curators to engage in discussions about current affairs affecting the creative health and well-being of our region, both now and in the future. In this series, the Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA) explores the museum's role in uniting art and community to champion culture. Part moderated conversation, part audience participation, every discussion aims to bring art off the walls and into our daily lives.

Featuring lead curator of Transformative Currents: Art and Action in the Pacific Ocean Cassandra Coblentz, exhibition artist Fran Siegel, LA Times environmental reporter Rossana Xia, and OMA’s Director of Exhibitions and Collections Katie Dolgov, the focus of this round-table discussion will be on the impact of sea level rise on Southern California’s art community and how science and art can bring awareness and enact change.

Presented in conjunction with the Oceanside Museum of Art's PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition Transformative Currents: Art and Action in the Pacific Ocean.
