Oolong Gallery is thrilled to announce its upcoming exhibition, "The Room of Orpheus," on view from Nov. 1 to Dec. 11, 2024. This is the second show in Oolong's new permanent Rancho Santa Fe gallery space featuring work by four Southern California based artists: Jasmine Little, Derek Simons, Stan Kaplan, Bianca Juarez, who collectively explore themes of mythology, memory, and material in the form of ceramic sculptures and paintings. Inspired by the Mediterranean origins and mythology of Orpheus and the poignant Orphic trilogy by Jean Cocteau, alongside Philip Glass’s powerful score, "The Room of Orpheus" invites viewers into a new contemporary art space set in the Spanish Colonial town of Rancho Santa Fe, California. In relation to artists, the myth of Orpheus serves as a powerful metaphor for the creative process. Just as Orpheus's music evokes deep emotions and connects with universal themes of love, loss, and longing, artists use their mediums to explore and express the complexities of the human experience.

TrueCare will host its annual Flourish & Nourish Health Fair and Breast Milk Drive on Saturday, August 9, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the new TrueCare Vista Way Health Campus (3998 Vista Way, Oceanside, CA). This free, family-friendly event celebrates community wellness with a special focus on maternal and children's health. The day will include a variety of exciting activities and supportive services for the whole family. Highlights include a food distribution, a backpack giveaway to help children prepare for the upcoming school year, music from a live DJ, a blood drive in support of the San Diego Blood Bank, free dental screenings with fluoride varnish, and general health screenings. Guests will have the opportunity to tour TrueCare’s new primary care and dental offices, and children can enjoy interactive activities in the “Kid’s Zone” designed to make wellness fun. “Rooted in our mission to provide care within reach, Flourish & Nourish is more than just a health fair,” said Briana Cardoza, Chief Business Development Officer at TrueCare. “This event is thoughtfully designed to break down barriers and bring essential services and resources directly to the community in a welcoming environment where families can feel seen, supported, and celebrated.” In partnership with the University of California Health Milk Bank, the event features a breast milk drive to help ensure medically fragile and premature infants have access to the nourishment they need. Donor breast milk plays a critical role in protecting vulnerable newborns from life-threatening conditions such as Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). When a mother’s milk is not available or insufficient, pasteurized donor milk is the safest and most effective alternative to support infant survival and development.
