Taste the Art at OMA’s Dinner Experience at 24 Suns

Oceanside Museum of Art is teaming up with 24 Suns for a dinner experience unlike anything else on the calendar, inspired by artist David Adey’s Sacrificial Bodies exhibition.

Through unexpected textures, forms, and techniques, Chef Nicholas Webber has built a five-course menu that turns Adey’s artistic themes into something you can actually taste.

Dinner With the Artist and the Chef

Guests are walked through each course by both David Adey and Chef Nicholas Webber, who share the inspiration behind every dish and how it connects back to Adey’s work.

It’s a rare chance to hear directly from the artist and chef as themes of transformation, curiosity, and artistic experimentation unfold course by course, turning a gallery exhibition into a fully immersive dining experience.

Few dinners offer this kind of direct access to the minds behind both the art and the meal.

A Kickoff to Art After Dark

This dinner also serves as the lead-up to OMA’s annual Art After Dark: Anatomy of the Surreal, a 21+ art party featuring a costume contest, a runway, and more.

Adding an Art After Dark ticket to your dinner reservation makes it easy to experience both of OMA’s standout events this season. It’s a simple way to turn one great night out into two.

See you there!

Between the artist-led courses, the intimate setting, and a tie-in to one of OMA’s biggest parties of the year, this dinner experience is a rare chance to taste an exhibition in a whole new way.
