The Ogunquit Arts Collaborative and the Ogunquit Art Association (Maine’s Original Artists’ Group | est. 1928) are thrilled to present a digital preview of our “OAA Expressions” exhibit from the 2024 Mid-Season Exhibitions at Barn Gallery.

The salty air seduces with the excited chatter of bustling Ogunquit in its peak summer form. Tourists mingle with art enthusiasts, all eager to experience the iconic Barn Gallery art exhibitions. For many of these visitors, time spent at Barn Gallery becomes part of the vibrant culmination of their summer adventure. The Mid-Season exhibitions are a true living and tangible manifestation of Ogunquit’s enduring artistic legacy.

Barn Gallery’s spaces are adorned anew with important work in the Mid-Season Art Exhibitions, bursting with a dazzling array of paintings, sculptures, photographs, and mixed media works. The “OAA Expressions” exhibit (see below for a digital preview) is always a highlight, a captivating display of diverse styles and mediums where artistic expression reigns supreme. Each piece is by a juried Ogunquit Art Association member. It’s a timely and inspiring snapshot of the OAA’s unwavering dedication to artistic integrity, offering visitors a glimpse into the thriving energy and boundless soul of the present-day Ogunquit Art Colony.

Unfiltered passion. Authentic art. 96 years strong. Barn Gallery and the Ogunquit Art Association: Where artistic heritage ignites contemporary creation.

You’ll definitely want to stop in to Barn Gallery in person to see all of this (and more) art up close, as well as “Regional Artists: An Open, Juried Show” (featuring artwork by members and non-members of the Ogunquit Art Association) — Jurors Bob Keyes (arts journalist and storyteller, editorial director at Colby College in Waterville, ME & Chair of the Maine Arts Commission) and Andres Verzosa (Executive Director & Curator, Stanley-Whitman House, Farmington CT. Board Member Abbe Museum, Colby College Board of Governors), selected the most compelling pieces for this exhibition.

While at Barn Gallery, explore the Sculpture Court, where the works of OAA Sculptors and Invited New England Sculptors come alive against the backdrop of lush foliage and vibrant summer blooms. It’s a unique outdoor art experience, a perfect way to soak up the heart of mid-swing summer in coastal Maine.

Bonus: After your visit, indulge in a classic Maine lobster roll at nearby Perkins Cove! Or, take inspiration from the Ogunquit Art Association and head out for some plein air painting of your own, perhaps along the scenic Marginal Way cliffwalk.

Barn Gallery, nestled on the corner of Shore Road and Bourne Lane in Ogunquit, welcomes you seven days a week (Monday – Saturday 11 AM – 5 PM and Sunday 1 – 5 PM) until October 14th, 2024.
