OMA's Artist Alliance is thrilled to present 45 artworks in their fourth annual exhibition at Ashton Gallery in North Park San Diego. Selected by juror Wendy Wilson-Gibson, many of the artworks are loosely themed to the title, Healing the Divide, exploring our connections with one another and finding common experiences through creative expression.
