As the summer sun gently yields to the colors of fall, the OAA continues to shine a spotlight on the boundless talents of its members. From August 9th through September 9th, the Late Summer Exhibitions at Barn Gallery will immerse you in a visual feast, combining tradition and innovation.

At the heart of the OAA’s enduring legacy lies its integral role in upholding the rich traditions of the esteemed Ogunquit Art Colony. As the OAA commemorates its 95th Anniversary in 2023, it celebrates not only its own journey but also the collective journey of countless artists who have sought inspiration amidst the rugged coastlines, dappled sunlight, and tranquil landscapes of Maine. The OAA has faithfully carried forward the torch of the Ogunquit Art Colony by providing a platform for artists to gather, share ideas, and contribute to a dynamic artistic dialogue.

The OAA fosters an environment where artists can delve into the depths of their imagination, push the boundaries of their craft, and play an active role as part of this steadfast community of artistic vigor that continues to inspire generations of art enthusiasts, connoisseurs, collectors, and creators. By nurturing this rich and influential lineage, the OAA stands as a testament to the enduring power of artistic community and the profound impact it can have on shaping the cultural identity of a place.

While this digital preview invites you to savor a taste of the OAA’s artistic bounty, remember that the true magic of art is best experienced in person – plus you’ll get a chance to see the Late Summer Artist Showcases featuring the work of Janet Ledoux (painter) and Anne Strout (painter) and the Expanded Collectors Gallery. The 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 9th, 2023.

Engage your senses, let your imagination roam, and perhaps find that one piece that speaks directly to your soul. Because art, after all, is a journey that is most profoundly felt when shared intimately between creator and observer.
