Bead Society of Orange County

The Bead Society of Orange County (OCBS) was established in February of 1994 as an Affiliate Group of the Bowers Museum of Cultural Art. From a small group of ten women who shared a common interest in beads, the Bead Society has now grown into a group of more than 200 members. The mission statement of the BSOC is to provide the community an educational resource in the artistic, historical and inter-cultural significance of beads. Our support of the Bowers Museum includes fundraising and volunteer support of museum programs.

Bowers Museum of Cultural Art

The Bowers Museum enriches lives through the world's finest arts and cultures.

Founded in 1936 by the City of Santa Ana through a bequest from Charles and Ada Bowers, the Bowers Museum is one of California's finest and Orange County's largest museums. In 1986, the museum closed its doors for a period of self-study. In response to community needs and input, it reopened in 1992 as a new cultural center, and expanded children's programming in 1994 with the opening of the Kidseum. The museum also recently celebrated the grand opening of the 30,000+ square-foot Dorothy and Donald Kennedy Wing in February 2007. To achieve its mission, the Bowers offers exhibitions, lectures, art classes, travel programs, children's art education programs, and other special community programs.
