Enjoy light refreshments, ambient music, watch a guest artist at work, and connect with fellow art lovers, neighbors, and creatives. All are welcome!

Enjoy light refreshments, ambient music, and connect with fellow art lovers, neighbors, and creatives. All are welcome!
OTC at the Brooks will be participating in Mainstreet Oceanside’s Taste of Oceanside! Explore downtown Oceanside on foot or hop on the free ‘Taste Trolley’ to taste and sip their way through Oceanside’s exciting food and brew scene. For those 21 and older, the food and beverage combo ticket offers the chance to sample sips from the community’s vibrant craft breweries and wineries at participating stores and offices. With only 1,200 tickets available and the event selling out three years in a row, early ticket purchase is highly recommended.
