“Ocean/Earth/Air” a juried regional show about our beautiful, fragile and fascinating world.
100 artists will be selected to showcase their work on the theme during the month of April 2023.

All Mediums Accepted - The show will host all mediums of painting, sculptures, fabric, collage, assemblage and photography.
Poetry Awards & Readings - We will have three poetry awards, First, Second and Third Place

Reception
The reception on April 23, 2023 from 1:00pm – 4:00pm will feature the Mission Hills high school band “The Preservationists” for two concerts.
Surfing Madonna Oceans Project wants to spread our message of hope and appreciation for the ocean and support the arts. We believe that creating art and public appreciation of art increases cognitive abilities and eases anxiety and depression in these difficult times. Art can make a difference in the community, and that collective action can greatly impact the world.
