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.

In this docent-led talk you will explore major works by artists who triumphed despite human setbacks and prevailed through hope, humanity and creativity. Ludwig van Beethoven’s usage of “Ode to Joy” within his last symphony symbolizes his commitment to resilience despite becoming deaf. Likewise, other successful artists, including several painters represented in the Timken collection, have overcome various obstacles and continued to create great works of art. These artists all adapted to their situations with purposefulness and adaptability. They did not dwell on the negative but moved forward in their artistry. We are fortunate to have the gift of this timeless art! Date | Thursday, February 10 from 11 a.m. to noon Location | Online via Zoom Register here! This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit the class' site or contact Alexandra Riley at ariley@timkenmuseum.org or by phone at (619) 550-5955.
