✨ Little by little, the historic Sunshine Brooks Theater is transforming. From newly poured flooring to continued restroom construction and framing throughout the space, Phase 1 of our revitalization project continues moving forward. After months of demolition and construction, it’s exciting to finally see these spaces beginning to come together as we continue investing in the future of the Brooks and our community. ❤️ Architect: @object_projects #brookstheater #brookstheaterrevitalization #revitalizationprogress #revitalizingthebrooks #theaterrenovation #renovationprogress #historicalbuilding #culturalhub #oceanside #otc #oceansidetheatrecompany #sunshinebrookstheater #OceansideCalifornia

In our Annex Gallery, Dorian Reid is sharing her vision for “We Are Creating Our Own Histories!,” a cut-metal mural on our 23rd Street facade. In her words: “I think about the sound of water. If we had a new public space for art, it could be some kind of music, to keep the hostility down and lift up more music.” The vision for this project has taken shape over two years of community workshops and collaborations. This is what your support makes possible. Be part of the chapter our artists are writing next. Your contribution sustains the studio, the artists, and visions like this alive within our Richmond studio and far beyond. Donate through the link in our bio.

Did you know that the siding for cabin 5 is cedar from a local mill in Onalaska? • Every cabin has something locally sourced - some of the wood is even from trees that were on our property! • #smokeyvalleycabins #toledowa #sustainablysourced

The Hill Street Country Club (HSCC) is proud to announce that the California State Coastal Conservancy has unanimously approved funding for the Hill Street Arts Hotel Feasibility Study, a major milestone in the effort to create a new lower-cost, arts-focused coastal accommodation in Oceanside. The Conservancy authorized a grant of $236,400 to HSCC to conduct community engagement, evaluate potential sites, and complete a feasibility study for the future Arts Hotel. The funded study will explore the development of an affordable, culturally rooted hotel along or near Oceanside’s historic Coast Highway—formerly Hill Street—within the City’s designated Cultural District. According to the Conservancy’s staff recommendation, the project directly supports the agency’s statewide goals to expand lower-cost coastal accommodations and improve equitable access to the California coast, particularly in areas like San Diego County where demand far exceeds supply. The Arts Hotel will offer a distinctly Oceanside experience rooted in local culture. Visitors will encounter art installations, workshops, performances, and community programming integrated into the guest experience—creating a model of tourism that prioritizes authenticity, cultural exchange, and belonging. “This study allows us to imagine a different future for tourism on the California coast—one that centers artists, community, and access,” said Dinah Poellnitz, Director of the Hill Street Country Club. “The Arts Hotel is about building a place where creativity and belonging shape the experience of the coast.” To stay informed about this project as it continues, subscribe to The Hill Street Country Club’s newsletter, follow us here in IG. If you’re a resident of Oceanside, please consider answering the survey linked in our bio, available in both English and Spanish or attend our upcoming in person survey and art workshops happening this April and May. #Oceanside #arthotel #thehillstreetcountryclub #artgallery #artispersonalcommunalanduniversal

It’s starting to come together inside the Brooks. ✨ The wall between Studio 219 and the lobby is officially open—creating a connection that’s never existed before. We’ve also begun framing for six new restrooms, tripling our previous capacity. 🔨 After months of behind-the-scenes work, it’s exciting to see these changes take physical shape as we continue building a more connected and accessible space for our community. More to come soon. 💛 Architect: @object_projects #brookstheater #brookstheaterrevitalization #revitalizationprogress #revitalizingthebrooks #historicalbuilding #culturalhub #oceanside #otc #oceansidetheatrecompany #sunshinebrookstheater #OceansideCalifornia

🧱✨ Flashback Friday ✨🧱 Back in December, we picked up sledgehammers and officially kicked off Phase 1 of our Revitalization with our Wall-Smashing Ceremony at the historic Sunshine Brooks Theater. It was equal parts symbolic and joyful — a moment that marked the start of something new for a space that has meant so much to our community. A lot has changed since this day, and we’re excited to start sharing how the revitalization has progressed. Stay tuned for more updates! 📸 Photo credit: @insageproduction Architect: @object_projects #brookstheater #brookstheaterrevitalization #revitalization #revitalizingthebrooks #wallsmashing #ceremony #historicalbuilding #culturalhub #oceanside #otc #oceansidetheatrecompany #sunshinebrookstheater #OceansideCalifornia
