Resonance is a free, all-ages event hosted by St. Brigid’s Episcopal Church and Oceanside Theatre Company that builds community through creative expression. Held in OTC's Studio 219 (219 North Coast Highway), this is a space for all creatively-inclined people—artists, musicians, writers, and more—to showcase their work and to practice spontaneous creation together. It’s not quite an open mic, jam session, drum circle, or art night—but it has elements of all of these. All are welcome to participate as much or as little as they choose. If you’d prefer to just come and enjoy the vibe and performances, you are welcome to do that too.

The University of California, San Diego, Department of Visual Arts, in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), is honored to convene the inaugural Art History Graduate Symposium. This landmark event establishes a vital forum for scholarly exchange, assembling a North American cohort of emerging historians and practitioners to examine the evolving methodologies of visual culture. The symposium’s three thematic sessions–Aural Pleasures, Interstitial, and Passing On–provide a rigorous framework for investigating the intersections of sound, memory, and the ephemeral. By interrogating the "afterlives" of the archive and the "monstrosity" of the spirit, these proceedings seek to redefine the boundaries of how art mediates historical identity and ontological presence.
