The Oceanside museum of Art is one of the gems of Oceanside. During my visit there was an exhibit by the artist James Hubbell as well as an exhibit of watercolor paintings. They also have a very nice museum gift shop. I highly recommend the place.
Highly recommend going to first Sunday of the month so you can get in free, with just an area code. Wonderful art. This time is was a bit empty in the main lobby but a lot to see upstairs and to the left. They are always changing the art series' too. Great place to visit but just for a quick 20 minute stop.
Beautiful gallery with impactful pieces and something for everyone. The colored pencils with paper table toppers are perfect for encouraging budding artists! Highly recommended.
