Ocala Art Group  

The Ocala Art Group was established in Ocala in 1950, making our organization the oldest of its kind in Central Florida. The artists have come and gone through the years, but the quality of the work and the enthusiasm of our members insure that the arts remain alive and healthy, no matter the economic climate.      

The Ocala Art Group is a not-for-profit educational corporation and our membership is open to all who share an interest in developing and promoting fine art.  We provide programs, demonstrations and workshops that appeal to every art enthusiast and we sponsor at least four art shows a year with all member participation.      

One of the special exhibits is at the Ocala Civic Theater and our artists participate in a revolving exhibit at the Ocala Chamber of Commerce and the Bank of America on the Square. Less structured exhibits are in the works at other venues, including an outdoor art show on the Square in Downtown Ocala and in the Atrium of the Appleton Museum of Art on Silver Springs Boulevard(future).  

Meetings are open to the public ($5 guest fee encouraged) and are held at the Appleton Museum of Art, 4333 E. Silver Springs Blvd. (http://www.appletonmuseum.org) on the second Wednesday of each month throughout the year.  Refreshments will be offered at 11 o’clock a.m. in the Lobby and the meeting and demonstrations will begin promptly at 12 o’clock noon in the auditorium.
