OC Artfully Done

image

OC is in for a contemporary art and culture treat! OsCene 2010 is arriving Sunday at the Laguna Art Museum, and it features more than 40 artists who draw inspiration from Orange County. OsCene 2010 is representing OC’s diversity—from the tourist attractions, the beaches, the people and the cities in which they live. There’s much to take in: painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, multi-media installation, video, architecture, performance, and music (Above photo by Jung Hye Sa, Anaheim, California, 2008).

The museum is getting techy, too with the debut of MoblMuseum iPhone application at the OsCene 2010 exhibition. You can download this free app for an interactive and informative tour of the exhibition. Check out audio clips, videos, interviews with artists, and more information on the art featured in OsCene 2010.

An opening night party is happening Saturday from 7 to 10 p.m. featuring DJ Velvet Touch, live performances, guest artists from the exhibit, and a cash bar. Tickets cost $20 online or $25 at the door.
