The Oceanic Art Society is pleased to highlight its OAS Sponsorship Program, an initiative designed to support the ongoing activities of the Society while helping introduce a new generation to Oceanic art.
As part of this initiative, the OAS has been offering a Free Under 30 Subscription, giving younger members access to all areas of the OAS website and the opportunity to participate in the Society’s activities.
The support of OAS sponsors helps make initiatives such as this possible, while also contributing to the ongoing work of the Society and the continued production of a printed edition of the OAS Journal.
