OCCCA is a captivating, dynamic, alternative space fostering wide-ranging creative expression free of the specter censorship while encouraging collaborative innovative programs and projects. As an artist-run, volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit California corporation founded in 1980, located in the heart of the Santa Ana Artists Village, OCCCA provides an essential platform for artists to explore their creativity, engage in critical dialogue, and experiment with new artistic concepts. We believe in the power of social engagement and global networking as intellectual exchange enhancing and shaping the contemporary art landscape.
