On September 27, OMA will host ‘Soft Power in Practice,’ a conversation with 2026 San Diego Art Prize recipients Danielle Dean, Ingrid Hernández, and Tatiana Ortiz-Rubio. Curator Lara Bullock will moderate the panel. The conversation accompanies ‘Soft Power: On Color, Time, and Resistance,’ on view at OMA from September 5, 2026, through February 7, 2027.
The exhibition invites viewers to look more closely at the quiet yet powerful forces shaping identity, environment, and belief.
Each recipient is recognized for sustained excellence in creativity, professional achievement, and meaningful contributions to the region’s arts ecosystem.
The event is presented by Oceanside Museum of Art in partnership with San Diego Visual Arts Network (SDVAN). It will take place at Oceanside Museum of Art, 704 Pier View Way, from 2 to 4 p.m. on September 27.
Each artist will be introduced by local champions of their work, including architects Jim Brown and Isabel Dutra; artist Amy Sanchez Artega of Cognate Collective, a previous SD Art Prize recipient in 2022 and SDSU educator; and Christine E. Jones, manager of Art, Film and Creative Industries at the SD County Office of Economic Development and Government Affairs.
