SUMMARY:Friday Nights at OMCA with Orchestra Gold
DESCRIPTION:Spring Teacher Night\n\n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Nights at OMCA | Live Music by Orchestra Gold\, TropiCali Dancehall Lesson w/ Aimee\, DJ set by Teao Sense\, Gallery Chats\, Care Van: Personal Care Stations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for another sensational installation of Friday Nights at OMCA! This Friday\, OMCA is honored to welcome Orchestra Gold to the OMCA Garden stage. Spearheaded by the dynamic Mariam Diakite—known for her raw\, hypnotic vocals and poetic Bambara lyrics—Orchestra Gold pays homage to Malian musical traditions while crafting a fierce new sound with heavy swinging rhythms\, a funky fresh brass section\, and cosmic guitar licks. Their most recent album\, Medicine\, mobilizes dance-inducing music to invoke the spirit and spread healing and community. DJ Teao Sense and their highly eclectic stylings with music from all over the world also celebrate how our diversity can create powerful and groovy waves.  \n\n\n\nThe TropiCali Dancehall Lesson w/ Aimee will keep your mind and body activated as this workshop focuses on not only the signature steps of Dancehall\, but also its culture\, history\, and context. As you sweat it out on the dance floor\, don’t miss your opportunity this election year to garner community care and civic awareness with Care Van at OMCA by artist Autumn Breon. In partnership with OMCA and For Freedoms\, Care Van will be providing free chair massages from Hit the Spot and a chance to bedazzle your smile with tooth gems from Dulce Diente on a first come first served basis\, as well as a mindful coloring station. Care Van will also be inviting visitors to anonymously record their questions about ballot measures and voter barriers which will be answered at a town hall on August 18 at OMCA.  \n\n\n\nIn addition to an outstanding event experience\, every Friday Nights at OMCA also offers guests a well-rounded gallery experience with Gallery Chats. Unlike the traditional museum tour\, Gallery Chats invites visitors to chat\, ask questions and connect with our OMCA facilitators who combine content knowledge with lived experience to encourage meaningful dialogue and fresh interpretations of our exhibitions.  \n\n\n\nLimited $10 flat rate parking for Friday Nights is available in the OMCA Garage until 10 pm. Learn more about getting to the museum. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Museum Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram Schedule:\n\n\n\n5—9 pm  Core Galleries and Special Exhibitions evening hours with Museum ticket \n\n\n\n5—8:00 pm Care Van: Personal Care Stations | Oak Street Plaza and Glimmer Terrace \n\n\n\n5:30—6:30 pm TropiCalli Dancehall Lesson w/ Aimee | Amphitheater  \n\n\n\n5:30—7:30 pm Gallery Chats  | Gallery of California Art\, History\, and Natural Sciences \n\n\n\n6—7:30 pm Orchestra Gold  | OMCA Garden \n\n\n\n6:45—8:50 pm DJ set by Teao Sense  | Amphitheater \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Friday Nights:\n\n\n\nGather with family\, friends\, and community every Friday at 5 pm for free live music and hands-on activities\, Off the Grid food trucks\, and late night access to our galleries and special exhibitions\, with a Museum ticket. \n\n\n\nBring your own or grab dinner from any one of the 8 Off the Grid food trucks on 10th Street between Oak and Fallon Streets.
