OXNARD — Art Comes Alive brings Maritime models and paintings to life with the help of live characters. Visitors have the unique opportunity to interact and speak with characters from many ages of Maritime history. Join the Channel Islands Maritime Museum on Saturday, February 15 and Sunday, February 16, 12-4 pm as friends of the museum dress up in costume and activate the spirit of various paintings, ship models, and time periods featured in the pieces on display in the galleries. The characters brought to life will share stories and facts about the art pieces they represent, creating an exciting experience unlike any other in the hallways and galleries of the Museum.
The event is family-friendly and guests are encouraged to come in maritime-themed costumes, or as a favorite maritime character or artist!
