O’Hanlon Center for the Arts provides an environment and spaces where creativity and community can develop, expand and flourish

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S UPDATE – April 18, 2025

Hello and welcome to OHCA

With so many cultural, economic, and environmental crises happening now, we hope you will  find some respite in your connection to O’Hanlon andexperience OHCA as a safe and welcoming place to gather, build community, exercise creative freedom, and cultivate resilience. 

This spring is full of new workshops and exhibitions.  

The grounds are open to enjoy the gardens and sculptures.  a new temporary sculpture by J. Livingston is just above the parking area, gnomon for Gina.

Gina is Gina Pane, Italian/French body artist active from the 1960s to 1980s. She was a precursor to Marina Abramovič and others. 

And a gnomon is the vertical part of a sundial that casts a shadow. gnomon for Gina is not intended to mark time.

We hope you will explore all we have to offer.

Best,

Erma Murphy
Executive Director
