Orange County Museum of Art in talks to merge with University of California, Irvine

The University of California, Irvine (UCI) has entered talks to take over the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA), a move announced last week. The discussions come shortly after OCMA director Heidi Zuckerman revealed she will leave when her contract expires in December. If an agreement is reached, the proposal will go to the University of California Board of Regents this autumn. The potential merger follows OCMA's reopening in a new $94 million building in 2022 and the upcoming edition of its California art biennial.
