Welcome to the Ocean City Center for the Arts, the destination for all things art in the Ocean City community. Home of the non profit Art League of Ocean City, our newly built bayside facility features a spacious two story gallery, a pottery studio, classrooms, art library and five working artist studios. The galleries display new exhibits of regional and local artists monthly, some of whom are Art League of Ocean City members.
Exhibits kick off with an opening reception from 5-7PM on the first Friday of each month. The receptions, as with all of our activities, are open to the public. In addition, we offer workshops for artists of all ages and skill levels, a summer art camp program and community events like our Plein Air Painting Competition and Sand Castle Home Tour. Affordable community meeting space, with beautiful views of the bay, is available for rent for your next gathering.
The Center for the Arts owes its success to many dedicated Art League of Ocean City members and volunteers who give of their time and talents.We welcome you to join our team and get involved. Whether you are an artist or simply an art appreciator, visit The Ocean City Center for theArts and be inspired.

Had a great experience at the exhibit. The food was delicious and I can't wait for the restaurant that the food was a preview of to open. Loved the local artists with that was exhibited. The worst artist's works were beautiful.

We stopped here on our last day and it was a beautiful experience for us. The gallery was plentiful and had some very beautiful art work throughout the gallery. Staff were so nice and there were some wonderful local artists on display too. It was nice to see lots of paintings of ocean scenes too! Definitely worth the stop to relax and take in some art. Many pictures available to buy from the local artists too. Highly recommend you stopping by!

I love this gallery and it makes me wish I lived closer so I could enjoy the benefits of membership. There were so many engaging exhibits and areas to explore. I loved the scavenger hunt for the kids to get involved too, and my kids enjoyed it too. Art was priced so reasonably and there are a TON of talented members. I'll definitely return when we visit OC again. Skip the Ocean Gallery on the boardwalk and buy some original art from living local artists here.
