Get ready for a week of creativity, curiosity, and happy, paint-splattered hands. At Oceanside Museum of Art’s Summer Art Camp, kids get to spend their days making art, exploring ideas, and learning from our Gallery Educators in a welcoming Museum setting. TWO UNIQUE WEEKS: SIGN UP FOR ONE OR BOTH! LIMITED TO 25 SPOTS PER WEEK! June 15–19, 2026 | 9 a.m.– 3 p.m. June 22–26, 2026 | 9 a.m.–3 p.m. While both weeks visit the same exhibitions and explore similar big ideas, no two weeks are the same! Projects, subjects, and materials shift each week, so returning campers will enjoy fresh challenges. This allows returning campers to deepen their skills while creating entirely new artwork! WHAT TO EXPECT Campers will learn foundational art skills like drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpting, and mixed media while also building confidence, problem-solving skills, and creative independence. Activities include drawing cartoons with a professional cartoon artist, designing and building cardboard “automatic machines” inspired by the "Aaron Kramer: Sense of Wonder" exhibition, creating custom prints on tote bags inspired by the "Matrix Multiplied: Hybrid Approaches to Printmaking exhibition," plein air watercolor painting, collaborative mural-making, beach sketching, mixed media collage, and more. Beyond art techniques, campers practice observation, creative thinking, collaboration, and expressing their ideas visually. OMA's galleries are our inspiration labs, and every project encourages experimentation and trying something new (there’s no “right way” here!) Each day includes a walk to the Oceanside Public Library (OPL) where free lunch is provided by the Lunch at the Library program if needed, otherwise kids can bring their lunch from home. OPL is our favorite neighbor and a great place to reset before heading back to the studio.

What makes a character unforgettable? It’s rarely a detailed history. More often, it’s what they notice, what they refuse to say, the objects they keep, and the choices they make. In this two-hour generative workshop, we’ll explore how character emerges through scene, dialogue, gesture, and image rather than exposition. Through close reading, guided discussion, and writing prompts, participants will learn how to reveal emotional depth without relying on lengthy backstory or explanation. Writers will leave with practical techniques for creating nuanced, believable characters and at least one new draft. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

Celebrate National Cocktail Day at The Rooftop Bar in Oceanside, where our cocktail menu pays tribute to the legendary surf breaks that define the San Diego coastline. Inspired by the rhythm of the Pacific just below us, each drink is named after a favorite local surf spot, capturing the character and energy of waves that have shaped Southern California surf culture. From Buccaneer, bold and funky like its fast-breaking barrel, to Grandview, always a promise of a good time, and Moonlight, bright and classic with a twist of coastal creativity, every cocktail reflects the personality of the break it’s named for. Join us above the Pacific and raise a glass to National Cocktail Day with a menu inspired by the waves, the surf, and the laid-back energy of San Diego’s shoreline.

DEAD MOUNTAINEER’S HOTEL (“HUKKUNUD ALPINISTI” HOTEL) – 1979, Tallinnfilm, 84 min. "I was on call to drive to a mountain hotel. The hotel's name was The Dead Mountaineer," says police inspector Peter Glebsky (Uldis Pūcītis) at the beginning of Estonian director Grigori Kromanov’s dazzling, paranoid mixture of locked-room mystery, 1970s Euro giallo, classic noir whodunit, and (unbelievably) alien sci-fi ala THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH. Based on a novel by famed Soviet authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (STALKER, HARD TO BE A GOD), the hall-of-mirrors plot follows Glebsky as he’s trapped by avalanche in the ski lodge with a rogues’ gallery of weird suspects: tubercular gangster Hinckus (Mikk Mikiver), creepy hotel owner Snewahr (Jüri Järvet, KING LEAR), a wall-climbing physicist (Lembit Peterson), a louche, wig-wearing beauty out of a Bryan Ferry song (Irena Kriauzaite) – oh, and the Dead Mountaineer’s faithful St. Bernard. The interior of the hotel (brilliantly art directed by Tõnu Virve and Priit Vaher, and photographed by Jüri Sillart) is straight out of a Dario Argento or Sergio Martino thriller: all chrome-and-marble with Space Age modern designs, drenched in champagne and feather boas. Featuring a stellar electronica / prog score by composer Sven Grünberg, the film combines an eerie THE SHINING-like mountain locale with speculative sci-fi straight out of Chariots of the Gods. “This is the end of the road. The only way is back,” as the hotel owner cryptically smiles. Newly restored in 4K by Deaf Crocodile in collaboration with the Estonian Film Institute and Film Archive.
