SUPPORT FROM THE OHR

Artful Resources From Our Community

Museums everywhere are helping people maintain social distancing by digitizing collections, sharing lesson plans for art projects, and creating online-accessible events for their members. Our doors may be closed but you can still enjoy the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art through our online programming – including virtual collections and exhibits, art activities, lectures, and other educational materials in line with our mission. Check back regularly to see what’s new. You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to keep up with updates.

All of this content will be made available here and through our homepage at georgeohr.org. We will continue to keep you informed of alternative ways to engage with OOMA.  We hope these digital experiences can bring you peace, enjoyment, and inspiration at this challenging time.
