Friday Night @ OMCA

Last Friday at the Oakland Museum of California was a real dance night! In addition to a warm evening, and  a street full of food trucks there was Salsa music from great musicians and alot of dancers! #fridaynights@OMCA– Cathy McAuliffe

Friday Night Fun at the Oakland Museum but Watch Your Step!

Enjoyed a vibrant evening on a warm Friday night just outside the

 Oakland Museum. All went well until I danced the salsa while

 descending the stairs and pulled a muscle! ;-) --Vivian Aldridge

If you find your way to the rooftop you can see a number of interesting buildings.

I was surprised to see such a large turnout for this event because of the cold.  Dancing certainly helped the crowd warm up. A practiced leader showed the group how to dance the latest hip hop moves. Even the kids got involved! -- Vivian Aldridge

There was also live music. I moved to the very front of the crowd to sketch this.

Friday Nights at OMCA

Every friday night at the Oakland Museum of California:  music, food trucks, family activities, and access to museum exhibits.  A great exercise in sketching crowds with a terrific ongoing soundtrack.

Friday Night at the OMCA

The Oakland Museum of California is open every Friday night 5-9 p.m. with food trucks, music, family art projects, and half-price admission to the galleries for adults (under 18 free).  Working in black and white seemed to fit this rainy night.
