OC MUSEUM OF ART

The Orange County Museum of Art, South Coast Plaza Village, 1661 W Sunflower Ave., Santa Ana, supports the effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 and has postponed all onsite activities.

The museum is offering the following virtual programs with more to come.

• Crafting + Craft Beer Play with simple embossing techniques to create a special, personally- crafted metallic hanging.

Led by teaching artist Elizabeth Cardenas, this creative exploration draws inspiration Allan Sekula’s photograph from OCMA’s collection Dockers Unloading Sugar Ship to engage with concepts of labor and craft.

For supplies (including instructions), head over to our favorite local craft brewers at Green Cheek Beer Co. and mention this project at the drive-through to receive 10 percent off a 4-pack of a craft brew, and a free art pack from OCMA.

Pick-up locations:

• Cinema Orange: Albert Frey: The Architectural Envoy, Parts I and II (Double Feature)

Both films are available from Thursday, Aug. 20, at noon through Saturday, Aug. 22, until midnight.

This two-part film series tells the story of Albert Frey, the unpretentious Swiss-born architect, who helped bring modernism to the United States and whose innate curiosity of the American landscape inspired an extraordinary style that blended industrial techniques with a love for nature.

Part I explores Frey’s early life and work in Europe to his architectural accomplishments in New York in the 1930s. Part II explores his Southern California period from 1939-1998.

RSVP to https://www.ocmaexpand.org/events/cinema-orangedouble- feature-albert-frey-the-architectural-envoy-parts-i-and-ii to receive the access link on the first day of the screening period.
