A Message from Monica Coburn, President
Ocala Art Group has been in existence since 1950. As the newly elected President all I can say is that I am honored to be a part of continuing the tradition of helping our members showcase their work. Our members are a talented group of artists who strive to lift each other up and encourage each other to showcase their art. Even with talent comes learning. We continue our art education by taking classes or helping by teaching classes. The Chelsea has a wide range of Art Classes for both adults and children.
Ocala Art Group meets at 11:00 at The Chelsea Art Center here in Ocala, on the second Monday of the month. Sept- June. We have a very short informational business meeting which is then followed by an art Demonstration. In the past, we’ve had big name artists demonstrating many different techniques such as… making paper, batik, framing for shows, copper, color theory, plein air, and the list goes on! We want to grow our membership so we can donate back to our community. So come check us out and join in the fun, we would love to have you!
