First Sundays

Every first Sunday of the month, General Admission to OMCA’s Galleries of California Art, History, and Natural Sciences is free and tickets to Special Exhibitions in our Great Hall are offered at a discounted price of $6.

Walk through OMCA’s landmark building and gardens with members of the Council on Architecture.

Friday Nights at OMCA brings you an evening of music, movement, and connection across cultures and generations! Experience a captivating live performance by singer-songwriter Raye Zaragoza, whose soulful blend of folk and Americana channels themes of self-discovery, joy, and resilience. With powerful vocals and storytelling rooted in lived experience, Raye’s music uplifts often unheard voices, creating space for reflection, healing, and celebration.

Join us for a woman-focused walk through the art gallery with Gallery Chats facilitator, Avril Angevine. Take a deep dive into the background of some of California’s best—and least—known women artists. Delight in their mesmerizing work and hear stories about their lives, practices, and challenges. Featuring artists Sonia Getchoff, Viola Frey, Carmen Lomas Garza, Hung Liu, Margaret Peterson, and Ann Weber.

Join us for Gallery Chats, an opportunity to chat with and ask questions of our enthusiastic and knowledgeable OMCA Facilitators.
