OAA's featured artist is
Tom McCort
Tom is a retired gentleman living quietly in Oakland with his wife and their German Shepherd dog. He enjoys painting the mountains and shores of the western United States, along with wildlife and the occasional cityscape for variety. His medium is usually oil. His unexceptional appearance, unassuming manner, and unprepossessing demeanor belie his keen intelligence and ready wit.

The Oakland Art Association helped support
ARTogether's Expressive Art Class 2021
for refugee and immigrant children 6-10 years old.
Class activities encouraged children’s artistic interest and self-discovery while having fun and making friends! Activities ranged from guided creative art projects to educational and holistic art activities to more freeform expressive art.
