collective identities.

FERTILE GROUND: ART AND COMMUNITY

SONGS AND SORROWS: DÍAS DE LOS
MUERTOS 20th ANNIVERSARY
September 20, 2014–April 12, 2015
October 8, 2014–January 4, 2015
The Oakland Museum of California and
SFMOMA bring together seminal works from
both museums’ collections in a new exhibition
Fertile Ground: Art and Community in California.
The exhibition explores four communities of
artists including: the circle of artists surrounding
Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in the 1930s;
the post-WWII artists associated with the San
Francisco Art Institute in the 1950s, such as Mark
Rothko, Richard Diebenkorn, and Clyfford Still;
the groundbreaking art faculty and students at
UC Davis in the 1970s including Robert Arneson,
and Roy de Forest; to the street art-infused
Mission Scene of the 1990s, with innovative
artists like Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, and
Chris Johanson.
Artistic and community voices from the past,
present, and future will come together for this
year’s Días de los Muertos exhibition and related
programs, marking two decades of the Oakland
Museum of California’s commitment to uniting
Bay Area communities around healing and
remembrance. Highlighting contributions from
pioneers of Días de los Muertos celebrations in
the Bay Area and newer voices that continue
to evolve this living tradition, the exhibition will
include works from Jose Guadalupe Posada,
Carmen Lomas Garza, Patssi Valdez, and Jesse
Hernandez, among others. Pre-Hispanic funerary
artifacts, Mexican folk art, contemporary art, and
installations will convey the iconic imagery and the
aesthetic and spiritual qualities of this festival.
Tours for grades 7–12 available on request.

SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS
PACIFIC WORLDS
BEES
May 30–January 10, 2015
January 12–June 21, 2015
In this exhibition, rarely-seen objects from the
Pacific Islands and the voices of contemporary
California Pacific Islanders come together to
illuminate history, culture, and connections.
Pacific Worlds reframes California as the far
edge of the Pacific and invites diverse California
communities to get to know their Pacific Island
neighbors. The exhibit also puts the 1915 San
Francisco World’s Fair, the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition, into a broader Pacific
context.
Over a quarter of our crop species depend on bees
as pollinators - yet both native bees and honey
bees are disappearing rapidly. Explore the relationships between bees, humans, and California’s
future in a special exhibit presented in the OMCA’s
newly transformed Natural Sciences Gallery.
Through family-friendly interactive experiences,
citizen science projects, and media featuring local
beekeepers, visitors will explore the causes of bee
declines, learn about bees’ essential contributions
to our economy and ecosystems, and how simple
but powerful actions by Californians can help bees
to survive in a changing world.
Tours for grades K–6 available on request.

FAQs
Q. Does OMCA accept Purchase Orders (POs)?
A. We accept POs only from Oakland Unified
District schools.
Q. How much time should we allow for our
visit?
A. Field trips may be paid for by cash, credit card,
or check.
A. A gallery tour is usually about 45 minutes long.
Check the appropriate section of the School
Programs Guide for information on the length of
specific programs. You may plan to eat lunch or
a snack in the Museum gardens before or after
your tour.
Q. Can we get a refund if we cancel our field
trip?
Q. How many chaperones are required for my
group?
A. You must notify OMCA four weeks in advance if
you wish to cancel your tour and receive a refund.
If you cancel with less than four weeks’ notice and
we have not received payment, you will still be
required to pay the amount owed.
A. The Oakland Museum of California requires a
minimum of one chaperone for every ten K–12
students. We ask that you limit chaperones
to no more than one for every four students.
Extra chaperones will be asked to pay 1/2 price
admission ($7.50) on arrival.
Q. What methods of payment does OMCA
accept?
Q. Can we change our tour time or date after we
have booked a trip?
A. All changes to your tour booking are subject to

early fall booking period, response time may be
longer.

wait to enter. Groups without reserved tours
for the Días de los Muertos exhibition are not
permitted to enter that exhibition until after 2 pm.
