For many of his works\, the surfacing can take months to complete\, so this workshop will be a peek behind the curtain of the more fast-paced/exciting process of maquette building and problem solving that Brian uses as a map before beginning the longer-term projects. Please note that this class uses Apoxie putty which may not be suitable for younger children. \nThis class is free and open to the public and all materials will be provided. Registration required. Max Capacity 10 Attendees.  \nBrian Smith (b.1994) is a Maine based artist who works in sculpture\, painting\, and drawing. Through meticulous surface treatments\, his work utilizes queer ecological theory to challenge traditional views of nature as separate from human society. Smith received his BFA in Sculpture from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and an MFA from Maine College of Art & Design. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions across New England and nationally\, including recent exhibition\, “As We Are\,” at the Portland Museum of Art. \nClick Here to Register!

What does warm summer air look like? How does fog land on trees? What color is an April rainstorm? Asking these questions of a painting can open up one’s approach to landscape painting\, making space for invention\, play\, and perception within the acts of direct observation & translation. In this 3-hour workshop\, the class will explore the Ogunquit Museum grounds as a group\, evaluating different sites for their merit as painting subject matter\, and using simple viewfinders to choose individual painting sites. Once situated\, participants will spend roughly 90 minutes painting independently\, with one-on-one guidance from the instructor. The final hour of the class will be spent together in a group “critique” of the new work. \nWhile this class is open to all levels\, participants should have some familiarity with their materials and be comfortable working outside. This class is free and open to the public and all materials will be provided. Registration required. Max Capacity 10 Attendees. \nTessa Greene O’Brien is an American painter exploring themes of place\, folk spirituality\, and human relationships. O’Brien has exhibited nationally and her practice has been supported by numerous grants\, fellowships\, and residencies. She lives and works in South Portland\, Maine. \nClass Full!

Lauder Curator in Charge of the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Photo courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. \nFriday\, 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. \nThe 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. \nIn 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. \n“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.” \nWe anticipate this lecture to be well attended.
