Oceanside Museum of Art Presents

Illuminate Gala | July 18, 2026

Shine the light on art and community as we celebrate a momentous era at Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA) on July 18, 2026, set in the heart of Oceanside's Cultural Arts District. Inspired by the theme Illuminate, we invite you to experience the transformative power of light, where art shines and community comes together in brilliant harmony. Your presence and continued contribution to our Gala are crucial to shaping OMA's success and making a positive impact on our community.

Enjoy a glowing cocktail reception, an open-air dinner, and dancing experience at sunset, a live auction, and more.

Cocktail Reception: 5:30–7:00 pm | Oceanside Museum of Art

Dinner and Dancing: 7:30–10:00 pm | Civic Center Plaza

More than a celebration, the Gala is a moment to uplift and support OMA's mission to bring people together to explore the art and stories of Southern California artists. Your support helps ignite new opportunities, expand access to the arts, and shape a brighter future for Oceanside through OMA’s exhibitions and programs.
