Artist Open House: Fiber Art


Experience the beauty of Fiber Art at the Brooks Theater Gallery (217 N. Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA). This exhibit honors traditions passed down through generations — preserving stories, rituals, and techniques that might otherwise have been forgotten. Meet the artists, discover the meaning behind their work, and see how these timeless crafts continue to inspire creativity today. Enjoy light refreshments, ambient music, and connect with fellow art lovers, neighbors, and creatives. All are welcome!

Taste of Oceanside


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.

Join us for an electrifying night of music as Anthony Cullins and his band take the stage, joined by an all-star lineup: Johnny Vernazza (formerly of the Elvin Bishop Band), Earl Thomas, and Isaiah Mitchell (Earthless, formerly of The Black Crowes).

The night kicks off with an opening set by the dynamic Topeaka Clementine, setting the perfect tone for an evening of unforgettable performances.
