Held at the Museum, at 543 Shore Road in Ogunquit, the Auction is a highlight of the cultural and social season as well as the significant fund-raiser supporting the OMAA's continued operation. Last year's Auction brought in over $51,000 which enabled the Museum to open its 2010 season a month earlier than in past years and to support several specific conservation and exhibition costs.
This year's signature image is Katherine Doyle's oil painting "Garden, Late Afternoon." The live Auction will include this work along with several dozen pieces of original art in various media by well-known local, Maine and national artists.
