Perhaps you’re a professional plein air painter. Or maybe you’re an amateur. Then again, maybe you’re not a painter at all — and you just appreciate visiting the Barn Gallery to see the latest work by the juried members of the Ogunquit Art Association. Or possibly you’ve already connected with our Ogunquit Maine Art + Photography group on Facebook because you LOVE to see paintings and photos depicting Perkins Cove and the essential landscapes of the Ogunquit Art Colony.
EITHER WAY: You’ll DEFINITELY want to make sure you plan to be in Ogunquit’s Perkins Cove on Saturday, September 11th, 2021 (rain date Sunday September 12th) for the 1st Annual Perkins Cove Plein Air Event.
ALSO – MAKE A DAY OF IT! Be certain to ALSO schedule a few moments to stop in over at Barn Gallery (very nearby, at the corner of Shore Road + Bourne Lane) on the same date (Saturday, September 11th from 4pm through 7:30pm) while the Reception for their Late Summer Exhibitions is taking place.
