Registration is now open for 2026 Summer ART Camp. The perfect balance of art education, freedom of expression and FUN! Choose from 4 wildly creative weeks of camp. Class size is limited so early registration is encouraged. Celebrating 20 years of quality art instruction in Ormond Beach. Open ages 6-12.

Sara Pedigo is an artist whose representational work celebrates the poetics of light and quotidian experience. She spent her childhood in the Piedmont region of South Carolina before relocating to northeast Florida, where she has predominantly lived and worked for more than three decades. Pedigo earned her MFA in Painting from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2007. She currently serves as Professor of Fine Art at Flagler College in St. Augustine, her undergraduate alma mater. In her dual role as artist and educator, she maintains an active studio practice while teaching drawing, painting, and advanced studio coursework. Pedigo has exhibited nationally in both solo and group exhibitions.

In this art exhibition, Isabella (Izzy) Losskarn and Jeff Schofield comment on the wasteful aspects of contemporary society, through brightly colored assemblages and hyper realistic imagery that challenges the viewer to reflect on mass consumption, over-production, and the manufactured business of everyday life. Izzy Losskarn is a pastel artist, researcher, and writer who uses visual metaphor to criticize the intersection of capitalism, sex, and gender. Jeff Schofield is both a sculptor and an architect by training. His artworks comment on human transgressions of natural and constructed environments. Museum hours are Monday-Saturday, 10 am-4 pm; Sunday, 12-4 pm

This month, join Linda King and Miss Emma for another fun project. Work together with your family to make large pastel flowers inspired by the paintings of American Modernist artist, Georgia O’Keeffe. Explore your creative potential in a casual, fun atmosphere. All instruction and supplies are provided, no art experience is needed, and all ages are welcome!

Visit OMAM to enjoy a pop-up exhibit of works by mixed media artist, Micayla Williams. Meet the artist and enjoy an artist talk at 5 pm.
