The Ogunquit Arts Collaborative and the Ogunquit Art Association (Maine’s Original Artists’ Group | est. 1928) are very pleased to present a digital version of the “OAA Expressions” exhibition from our 2023 Mid-Season Exhibitions at Barn Gallery.

We are thrilled to share that the first half of our 2023 season at Barn Gallery has been nothing short of extraordinary! Inspiring art. Big crowds. Smiling faces. We take great pride in welcoming a diverse array of art lovers, collectors, fellow artists, and visitors to Ogunquit, Maine, who have made our gallery their creative haven. It has been an absolute joy to witness the bustling atmosphere and the enthusiastic response from the community.

The esteemed Ogunquit Art Association has played a central role in the vibrant cultural life of the southern Maine/New Hampshire seacoast since the early chapters of the Ogunquit Art Colony. Our mission then was the same as it is now: to bring together professional artists and showcase their magnificent creations to the public, while also providing an educational forum for artistic exploration.

Barn Gallery is more than just a place to view art. We are a hub of artistic inspiration and creativity. Throughout the first half of this remarkable season, we have hosted captivating artist demos, engaging workshops, enlightening gallery talks, and enchanting exhibition receptions. These events have not only showcased the immense skill and dedication of our artists but have also fostered a deep connection between the art community and our cherished visitors.

Join us at Barn Gallery and immerse yourself in a world of artistic wonder. Let your imagination soar as you experience the vibrant energy of the Ogunquit Art Association, an organization that has been a proud cornerstone of the local art scene for nearly a century. Discover the beauty that lies within our walls, participate in our curated cultural experiences, and allow your senses to be awakened by the masterpieces created by our artist-members.

ALSO: Don’t forget to purchase some art to take home with you 🙂
