As described by the OMCA website, the communities
highlighted are: The
circle of artists who worked with and were influenced by Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in San Francisco in the 1930s; the legendary painters and photographers associated with the California School of Fine Arts (now San Francisco Art Institute) in the 1940s and 1950s, including Mark Rothko, Richard Diebenkorn, and Imogen Cunningham; the free - spirited faculty and students at UC Davis in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Wayne Thiebaud, William T. Wiley, and Bruce Nauman; and the streetwise, uncompromisingly idealistic artists at the
center of a vibrant new Mission scene that took root in the 1990s through the present, including Barry McGee and Chris Johanson.
