Friday, June 27, 5-7pm. The Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA) is proud to announce the launch of a new annual lecture series, Distinctive Voices in American Art, with its inaugural program headlined by David Breslin, Leonard A. Lauder Curator in Charge of the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The lecture titled “Who Cares About American Art?” will take place on Friday, June 27, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at OMAA. Breslin will reflect on the evolving role of American art in today’s cultural landscape, drawing from his curatorial experiences at both The Met and the Whitney Museum of American Art, where he previously served as the DeMartini Family Curator and Director of Curatorial Initiatives.
In his career, Breslin has been a leading voice in how institutions engage with artists and audiences, notably helping to establish the Whitney’s Indigenous Artists Working Group. His lecture will open a new platform at OMAA for critical dialogue around the purpose, relevance, and future of American art.
“This new series underscores OMAA’s commitment to fostering fresh perspectives and dynamic conversation with leading figures in American art and art history,” said Amanda Lahikainen, Executive Director of OMAA. “We are honored to welcome David Breslin as the first speaker in this initiative that invites both reflection and imagination.”
We anticipate this lecture to be well attended. To help us best prepare for a full audience, we ask that you RSVP if you plan to attend.
