OCCCA Presents: Moved/Displaced

The exhibition Moved\Displaced features work addressing the themes of migration and displacement from a wide variety of perspectives. The show includes 28 artists working in a wide array of artistic mediums and methods. These artists are predominately based in Southern California and create their work with influences from a diverse set of backgrounds.

Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture provides a collaborative and rigorous environment for participating artists. Each summer Skowhegan brings 65 dynamic artists to their Maine campus for two months of art-making, inquiry, and collaboration. The program is recognized internationally and alumni works can be found in major museums, galleries, and arts organizations around the world. They foster connection and opportunity beyond each summer session through a robust alumni network.
