The Oak Ridge Art Center is a private non-profit corporation that serves the regional community surrounding Oak Ridge by offering creative visual arts programming.
We serve a membership of approximately 400 and over 1500 artists and student artists annually. Our mission is to support the experience, enjoyment of, and participation in the visual arts. We offer a wide variety of programs including exhibitions in our galleries, a full range of art and craft classes and workshops, and dynamic public events. We invite you to join us and hope you will visit often.
The Gomez Gallery is named for two of our Benefactors - Mary and Alden Gomez. The "Open Show" is our annual juried exhibition of mixed media from a huge number of artists. While most participants are regional, we usually have several states represented in the mix.
