The Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) is a very contemporary/modern art museum (sometimes gratingly contemporary) with a strong emphasis on California artists. The museum exhibits a broad mix of work from famous names, up and coming artists, and questionable talent. In addition, although there tends to be a California emphasis, artists displayed come from across the nation and around the globe.

OCMA often showcases video art along with wall hangings and sculptures and most seasons have a playful aspect.

OCMA tends to cycle through three to four groups of exhibits per year with each showing lasting about three months.

The museum is rarely crowded, has ample parking, and occasionally hosts free evenings or days. OCMA also has a cinema series that plays in an adjacent theatre.
