The Orange County Museum of Art is Southern California’s premier visual arts organization outside Los Angeles. The collection holds nearly 2,500 objects, with an emphasis on California art from the early 20th century to the present. Critically acclaimed exhibitions such as Picasso to Pollock: Modern Masterpieces from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art; Mary Heilmann: To Be Someone; and Birth of the Cool: Art, Design, and Culture at Midcentury, draw more than 40,000 visitors annually, and in the last decade have traveled to over 20 museums in America and abroad. Since 1984, OCMA has been at the forefront of the art world by hosting the California Biennial, which is the largest exhibition for emerging artists in the state. The museum’s award-winning education programs keep art alive throughout the region, serving some 15,000 children and adults.
