OCCCA's 45th Anniversary Exhibition
The Orange County Center for Contemporary Art is proud to present their 45th Anniversary Exhibition, showcasing over 70 former and current OCCCA artists. During its four and a half decades, OCCCA has provided the public with a panoply of more than 500 creative, thought-provoking and high-quality contemporary art exhibitions cumulatively featuring more than 2,000 artists. Every exhibition is provided free of charge to the public. OCCCA annually presents two high profile, topically themed juried exhibitions strategicallycalendared among a note-worthy range of solo and group showings of OCCCA artists and guest-curated exhibitions. OCCCA exhibition opening receptions are free to the public, occurring from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month, concurrently participating in the Santa Ana Artists Village Art Walk.
OCCCA community outreach provides free art classes for local elementary schools in the Santa Ana Unified School District. By-appointment tours for educational institutions, organizations and the public are available and encouraged. Additionally presented are a varied spectrum of cultural events including panel discussions, performing and musical presentations.
In 1994 OCCCA was the pioneering first organization to commit to moving into the then only conceptualized, yet to be realized Santa Ana Artists Village. Having moved from its original gallery space in west Santa Ana, OCCCA has occupied its own 6,300 square foot gallery space since 2000 and is in the heart of the Santa Ana Artists Village.
Inspired by world-renown assemblage and performance artist George Herms, then an art professor at California State University Fullerton, as an outgrowth of his reply to a plaintive observation by five of his graduate art students saying are no venues in Orange County to exhibit their contemporary art, Herms said, 鈥淪tart your own Gallery鈥� which they did in 1980 as OCCCA. In late summer of 1980, Herms subsequently agreed to and became the inaugural artist exhibited at OCCCA. His work is included in this exhibition.
