Art Omi Pavilions Teaser

When distinguished artists and important collectors donate or sell groups of artwork to museums, their art is almost always absorbed and dispersed with the museum’s collection, losing the aesthetic coherence, spirit, and holistic “gesamtkunstwerk” qualities that distinguish a body of work created or assembled from a singular point of view over a lifetime.

The Pavilions at Art Omi aims to sustain these qualities by welcoming highly distinguished artists to create legacy stand alone exhibitions of their work in a setting that they control and help design, but one that also belongs to a larger art center which provides cultural context and museological standards.

Approximately 12 to 18 artists, pairs of artists, or collectors, will be offered the opportunity to create individual Pavilions devoted solely to their work.

Our mission is to advance the legacy and collective power of creative expression from leading artists, architects and collectors in an inclusive and sustainable natural landscape.
