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.

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!

Very nice artist collective with a large variety of artists and mediums to select from. We stopped by during a crafts show and found a couple of pieces to buy. Definitely will be stopping by during our yearly visits going forward.

Although I have been to Ocean City many times over the last 60 years. I had no idea that it had such a wonderful league of artists and such a beautiful way of showcasing them. I am so pleased at the new building for the Art league of Ocean city. Everything is new and crisp. It was built from the love of arts. It’s huge with two floors of galleries and workshops. A number of classrooms and offices. Clean restrooms and a spectacular view. After finding it and enjoying the gallery we signed up for a glass. The sign-up for classes was easy. We did it in person but it could be done on the phone or on their beautifully designed website.
We enjoyed the two hour fused glass class. The instructor was very fun and informative. Actually we were the only two in the class. Assuming because it’s summer people have other plans. It was like a private class. They have a schedule on their website of all the classes and events, as well as a Facebook Page of past events. You can find many types of arts, from glass, ceramic, painting to jewelry, simple clothing, & greeting cards. Their small gift shop area had unique finds. This will definitely be a go to stop whenever we are on the Eastern shore.
