The Ohr–O'Keefe Museum Of Art is a
Construction
The five-building museum campus was designed by architect Frank Gehry to "dance" with the ancient live oak trees on the 4-acre (1.6-hectare) site.
Construction of museum buildings began in 2004.
The museum offers pottery classes at the Center for Ceramics, which houses a state of the art ceramics studio and classrooms.[7] In addition, the Ohr–O'Keefe Museum of Art is continuing its community and school outreach programs, to include the OOMA-Ed program for kids and adults. Summer youth programs (SOOMA) are also held in the Center for Ceramics.
In July 2011, less than a year after it opened, the Ohr–O'Keefe Museum was facing financial difficulties because revenues were not sufficient to cover operating costs.
