The Ontario Museum of History and Art, 225 S. Euclid Ave., opens its latest exhibit “Conduit,” Thursday, February 15.

Inspired by the museum’s permanent installation “Built on Water: Ontario and Inland Southern California,” the exhibit, curated by Debra Scacco, “uncovers how the diversion of water has shaped the way we live through a critical examination of the tension between urban growth and the natural world,” according to a news release. Featured artists include Christy Roberts Berkowitz, Lauren Bon, Gerald Clarke, Noé Montes, Samantha Morales Johnson, Stuart Palley, and Lorene Sisquoc.

A free and open to the public reception is set for 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, February 17 during the Ontario Art Walk. The museum is open Thursday and Friday from noon to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. Learn more at ontariomuseum.org.
