Join us in-person at Oceanside Museum of Art for a free community screening of the film "A Choice of Weapons: Inspired by Gordon Parks" (99 minutes). Presented in partnership with Oceanside Public Library and the North County African American Women’s Association, the film explores the power of images in advancing racial, economic, and social equality as seen through the lens of Gordon Parks, one of America's most trailblazing artists, and the generation of young photographers, filmmakers, and activists he inspired. From the 1940s through the 2000s, Parks' bold and revealing body of work captured the intersections of art, race, class and politics across the United States, documenting civil rights and social justice as part of the everyday experience. Free copies of the book "A Choice of Weapons" by Gordon Parks will be given away by Oceanside Public Library while supplies last. Date | Sunday, February 6 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Location | Oceanside Museum of Art Register here to attend. This event is free and open to the public.

We’re kicking off 2022 with stories about The GOAT! (That’s the “Greatest of All Time,” as the kids say) We've wrung our hands, fretted, and worn down our fidget spinners over the fact that many people missed out on the gorgeous, hilarious, poignant stories that talented people shared during the shelter-in-place/ lockdown/ quarantine days. So we decided to take a different direction with January's theme, by featuring some of these "Greats Of Ailment Time!" Come watch these Greats from those 16 months during which we were all busy "learning French and taking online cooking classes" (yeah, right). Date: Jan. 27, 2022 Time: 8:00pm Location: Whistle Stop Bar Cost: $5 suggested donation For more information on this event and other donations please visit HERE!
