Call for Artists – Summer Fun

CALL FOR ARTISTS BROOKS THEATER GALLERY
THEME: SUMMER FUN
PURPOSE: art to explore, enrich, and excite
The Brooks Theater Gallery in downtown Oceanside is rather unique in that the Gallery is located in a very busy and successful performing arts theater
offering plays, musicals, dance, concerts, and community events. The artwork is seen by performers, audience members, students, Camp Pendleton Marines, tourists, community members, art lovers, and more. I believe the synergy between visual art and performing art creates a memorable experience for both the art lover and the theatergoer.
