SUMMARY:OMAA Conversations: Cara Romero
DESCRIPTION:Cara Romero  \n\nMonday\, June 22nd\, 3:00-5:00 PM at Leavitt Theatre\n\nJoin us at the historic Leavitt Theatre for a lecture by artist Cara Romero. \nCara Romero is an enrolled citizen of the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe\, a visual storyteller\, activist\, and mother. She is known for dramatic fine art photography that examines Indigenous life in contemporary contexts. With extensive training in photography\, her work is shaped by 25 years of formal study and artistic practice. Blurring the lines between fine art and activism\, Romero tells stories of cultural memory\, collective histories\, and autobiography to convey the complex realities of contemporary Native peoples. Her work has been acquired by major institutions including The Met\, The MoMA\, The Amon Carter\, as well as the Forge Project Collection. She has been commissioned to create monumental-scale public art including the 2019 Desert X Biennial and NDN Collective’s #TONGVALAND billboard series in Los Angeles. Romero travels between Santa Fe and the Chemehuevi Valley Indian Reservation\, where she inherited her childhood home and maintains close ties to her tribal community and ancestral homelands through art and activism. \nClick here to reserve your free tickets.

SUMMARY:CLASS FULL Jenny Ibsen - Handbuilding Ceramic Trophy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Jenny Ibsen – Handbuilding Ceramic Trophy Workshop\nSunday\, July 26\, 10am – 1pm\n\nThis workshop with ceramic artist Jenny Ibsen will explore relationships between color\, illustration and playful forms through handbuilding tiny trophies.

Come make an award for a loved one\, a show of gratitude for some delicious vegetables\, a thank you to your favorite spot in Maine\, a note to self\, or even a good-enough Nice Try. We’ll be making whimsical trophies for all—objects\, places\, people\, moments—congratulating them for whatever it is they do. Pieces will be fired by Chases’ Garage and available for pick-up within 2 weeks after the class.\n\n\n\nThis class is full. Contact scordery@ogunquitmuseum.org to join the waitlist.\n\n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, no prior experience in ceramics necessary. Materials will be provided.\n\n\nJENNY IBSEN is a Maine-based artist and organizer with a community-centered art practice. Her ceramic works are often colorful\, hand-built terracotta vessels that intend to facilitate connection at the dinner table among friends and strangers alike. Jenny moved to Maine in 2014 to pursue her BA at Bowdoin College. She is a co-organizer for Tender Table and lives in Portland\, Maine.

SUMMARY:Shane Charles - Site-based activation
DESCRIPTION:Shane Charles – Site-based activation\nThursday\, September 17\, 3pm – 5pm \nA site-based activation within an engineered sculptural system built from timber\, oxidized steel\, and machined joinery. Breath\, moisture\, and pressure operate as material methods: contact transfers residue\, corrosion advances\, and the surface records what occurs in real time. Time reads as a physical interface—irreversibility and emergence carried forward through touch\, weight\, and chemical change. \n\nClick here to register.\n\n \nSHANE CHARLES is a sculptor working across Maine\, Boston\, New York\, and internationally—engineering installations from Eastern Woodlands–sourced timber\, oxidized body-print on steel\, hand-cast metal\, and machined hardware—works in which contact is not image; pressure not metaphor; but consequence. Surface meets surface. Load to constraint. Breath into substrate. The body registers into steel as real transfer; and does not reverse. In this practice\, the body is material history; somatic memory is physical—experience as mortality witnessed. Architectural framing and performative activation operate as a single horizon system: condition with contact is form. Touch is the context in which the inert past faces potential—emergence carried forward by irreversibility.

SUMMARY:OMAA Conversations: Donna Cassidy
DESCRIPTION:OMAA Conversations: Donna Cassidy \nTuesday\, October 6th\, 5:00 PM at OMAA\nJoin us for OMAA Conversations with Donna Cassidy on Tuesday\, October 6th at 5pm. This event will take place at the Museum and is free and open to the public. We welcome you to arrive at 5 pm to find your seats and enjoy the galleries; the presentation will begin at 5:30 pm.  \nCarl Sprinchorn’s Worlds: New York\, Sweden\, Maine: Carl Sprinchorn was always on the move. His travels took him to diverse locales across North American and Europe as he sought new experiences and new ways of artmaking. This lecture will look at how three of those “worlds”—New York\, Sweden\, Maine—shaped his art. Sprinchorn was not a mere tourist passing through these places but was grounded in their art and culture—in Robert Henri’s realism and the spectacle of the modern city; in Scandinavian painting\, naturism\, and mysticism; and in Maine and its regionalism. \n\n\n\n\nClick here to reserve your free tickets. \n  \n\n\n\n\nDonna M. Cassidy\, Professor Emerita\, University of Southern Maine\, has published widely on modernism and regionalism in early twentieth-century American art and culture\, most notably with her books Painting the Musical City: Jazz and Cultural Identity in American Art\, 1910-1940 (1997) and Marsden Hartley: Race\, Region\, and Nation (2005). She was also co-author with Elizabeth Finch and Randall R. Griffey of Marsden Hartley’s Maine (2017)\, the catalogue of the exhibition which she co-curated at Colby College Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Most recently\, she has curated two exhibitions at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art—Shifting Sands: Beaches\, Bathers\, and Modern Maine Art (2023) and Carl Sprinchorn: “All the World Is a Painting” (2026). She is currently working on the forthcoming exhibition Layered Terrain: Art\, Land\, and Environment in Eastern Canada\, 1890-1940 at the Farnsworth Art Museum and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (2027-28).
