Scripps Health sponsored the Networking Mixer and unveiling of the new mural, created by Skye Walker, on the Star Theatre building in Oceanside yesterday. This is the first of ten murals that are planned by the MainStreet Oceanside Mural Initiative in Oceanside, California.
Over 100 people attended and were represented by the Oceanside Coastal Neighborhood Association, and the Oceanside Friends of the Arts.

Everyone gathered inside the Star Theatre and enjoyed food catered by Chronic Tacos, then returned outside to take a group photo for the ribbon cutting and the revealing of the mural. What a beautiful new addition to the community and all that will walk or drive by to see a one of a kind piece of art for tourists and locals.
The Oceanside Mural Initiative seeks to install ten curated public art murals over the course of three years in Downtown Oceanside
. OMI is a community driven initiative, and will integrate key partners in the downtown Oceanside area. Through this Initiative, Oceanside will become a destination for public art, will create a model by which Oceanside and other communities can fulfill community-driven arts initiatives, will act as a medium for education/community outreach, and will help to define Oceanside as a community whose identity is built upon and driven by the arts.
MainStreet Oceanside is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a pedestrian friendly community with unique and exciting attractions including both daytime and evening activities for residents and visitors alike.
