And, although we anticipate limited in-person visitors, we will also be featuring each piece of art and its creator in our next virtual show! We’re organizing a special drive-up take in for this show on Tuesday, July 14th from 1-6 PM with special safety protocols in place. OCA members may each enter one original art piece, no entry fees for this show! Please make a reservation for your entry drop off.
