A non-comprehensive look at the exhibit 66th Annual Awards Exhibition, featuring four artists who won the Exhibition Award of Excellence during the 66th Annual Members Show in 2024, judged by Jenna Erwin, Project Manager, Exhibitions & Publications, Oakland Museum of California (OMCA). Jenna also acted as the curator for this exhibit. In developing the Awards Exhibition, Jenna Erwin has remarked that, “The Bay holds various snippets of beauty, from its bookstores to residential corners, from its seascapes to living organisms. This exhibition explores moments of urban whimsy with coastline character, through a mixture of 2D and 3D works that invite the viewers to explore community, materiality, and the natural landscape.”
