About Us
OPM started as an informal group of painters coordinating paint-outs together in around 2002. The group began recruiting new members and collecting fees to expand opportunities beginning in 2008. Articles of Incorporation were filed in 2012, and in 2015, OPM was recognized by the IRS as a 501c3 tax exempt organization.
Your $40 annual membership fee is used to coordinate paint-outs and painting trips, painting workshops, organize painting competitions and sponsor prizes, mount exhibits, an annual Art Materials Scholarship, and offer group participation in art fairs and events under OPM's banner. As we grow, we hope to be able to offer even more exciting painting, educational and travel opportunities. Join now and bring your ideas, your talents, your friends, and a volunteer spirit!
