OGUNQUIT SUMMER SCHOOL of ART
One of the best kept secrets in the Plein air art world,
we are an outdoor painting school providing weekly classes and workshops in Ogunquit, Maine, York county and the New Hampshire seacoast year round. We also offer a variety of destination workshops in the U.S. and abroad. Our instructors represent nationally recognized artists and some of the top professionals working in the field. Diverse instruction from skill-based, art academics to modern and expressive offerings provide a deep range of options to students. Classes are appropriate for beginners to pros.
Founded in 2013 by a small, collaborative group of painters and art teachers seeking an authentic artistic journey, we are inspired by the aesthetic beauty of Ogunquit and the seacoast and it's rich art history. With a respectful nod to the founding fathers of the Ogunquit Art Colony and to Charles Woodbury, who established a famous plein air painting school in Ogunquit's Perkins Cove in 1898, we continue the tradition of the outdoor, summertime art school with additional workshop and class offerings year round. In addition, each year, we invite three Nationally recognized, visiting artist from different parts of the country to hold a workshop here on the seacoast. Please see our list of instructors and class offerings for this year.
Past Instructors include:
Joe Paquet
Karen Blackwood
Jon Redmond
Timothy Horn
Donald Jurney
Mark Shasha
Tom Hughes
Dennis Perrin
Hillary Scott
Christopher Volpe
