Dear Friends, we loved sharing our 2025 Season with you. It was filled with wonderful art, engaging conversation and special events.
We continued our community outreach with our Annual Student Show in May and the Open Regional Juried Show in July. Our lively Ogunquit Art Association Auction was held, as usual, on the first Saturday in August. Artist Showcases presented in-depth works by printmaker Carol Lummus and photographer Karen Bushold, painters Charles Cramer and Salazar, plus a special 50th Anniversary exhibition by sculptor David Schneider. We remembered S. Patricia Benson, Polly Moak, and Paul Paris in the Memorial Show.
We were pleased to partner again with Ogunquit Performing Arts as they staged two special evening events in June and the Piano Festival in October.
We look forward to the continuation of these exciting programs along with author presentations, talks on art collection and the impact of AI on so many things visual! Revisit our 2025 offerings and exhibitions and preview our developing 2026 schedule at barngallery.org.
