What does it mean to “belong” to the Art League of Ocean City?
When you become a member of the Art League, you join a large, extended family where you feel a sense of belonging. Our members are a beautiful mix of talents, ages, genders, races, beliefs, backgrounds, generations, experiences, personalities, interests, and goals. Some of our members paint, draw, glaze, photograph, sculpt, weave, carve, mold, collage, perform, video, exhibit, and sell. Other members appreciate, support, get inspired, help out, connect, volunteer, write, greet, socialize, and have a lot of fun! We invite you to join us.
Belong and Be Inspired.
- Connect with other creative minded people like yourself. You don’t need to be an artist to love art and be inspired!
- Our beautiful bayfront Arts Center is an inspiration, filled with galleries and studios.
- If you’re an artist, exhibit your work in our monthly art shows.
- Be nourished with inspiring workshops and events: Art & Soul, Hope & Healing, the annual SHEro Awards.
Belong and Be Creative.
- Bring it out by taking a class in-person or from anywhere you are over Zoom.

- The Art League welcomes everyone! We do not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, gender, marital status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, or physical challenge.
Belong and Have Fun.
