Join OMA's Artist Alliance at Sparks Gallery for the reception of "Elemental" on Sunday, May 25, from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. OMA's artist alliance is thrilled to present 38 artworks in their third exhibition at Sparks Gallery in San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter downtown. Selected by juror Sonya Sparks, many of the artworks are loosely themed to the title, "Elemental," work that explores the vibrancy and vitality of the core elements—earth, air, fire, and water—that shape the world around us. The exhibition aims to evoke the raw, powerful essence of these elements, revealing their interconnectedness with life and the environment. The Elemental theme highlights how these fundamental components permeate our daily existence, inspire creativity, and foster growth, yet also have the capacity for destruction and transformation.

Jim “Crush” Duricy was a father, husband and a United States Air Force test pilot at Eglin Air Force Base with the 46th Test Wing Squadron. On April 30, 2002, he flew his last mission testing the speeds of the F-15C with the AIM-9X Sidewinder missile. He was required to reach the speeds of Mach 2 in order to complete the test. During the mission, his plane tore in half right behind the cockpit. He ejected from the plane, sending him in the fast airstream and killing him instantly. His legacy serves as an inspiration to the next generation of pilots. "Crush" 7 mins. / West Coast premiere. This film is part of a Doc Block.
