OAA Membership Benefits
Since 1974 the Olney Art Association has grown to include 65 regular members and an unlimited number of associate members. Regular members are formally juried in by members of the executive committee twice each year.
OAA holds membership meetings each year on the first Tuesday evening of January, March, May, July, and September. Until further notice, the meetings are held at the Olney Public Library at 7:00 PM. The membership meetings are informative and include art demonstrations by well known artists and other presentation aimed at giving the members a wide spectrum of new ideas and motivation for their own work. Among the members of OAA are art teachers, some of whom instruct and hold workshops within Montgomery County. These visual fine artists have a wide range of interests including: oil painting, watercolor, acrylics, pastels, printmaking, sculpture, pottery, photography, and digital art.
Members receive a bi-monthly newsletter which is a valuable resource of information about area art shows, workshops, general art news, member activities and monthly meeting updates.
OAA sponsors an annual juried show at Woodlawn Manor, an annual year-long open exhibit at Woodlawn Manor, and bi-monthly open exhibits at the Olney Public Library.
OAA cooperates with other art, business, and government organizations to provide members opportunities to exhibit at local offices, businesses and public spaces.
OAA mentors new members.
