Get ready for an explosion of imagination and creativity as the Barn Gallery of Ogunquit, Maine is set to host its 44th Annual Student Art Show! This event has become a beloved tradition in the local art community, drawing in families, art enthusiasts, and curious onlookers year after year.
From May 11th through 12th, 2024 (with an opening reception on May 10th), the gallery will be filled with the stunning works of K-12 students from the Southern Maine Seacoast area.
