For her exhibition The Weather, Barbara Bloom has made works titled The Sea, in Part, utilizing seascape paintings from the OHS collection and displaying them such that sea and the sky are partially obstructed, revealing only glimpses of their drama or calm. Accompanying these are gray-green-blue carpets, hovering at varying heights above the floor. The carpets have raised-dot patterns forming Braille texts, each with a different literary description of the weather. The exhibition accentuates the complexity of seeing… leaving much to the imagination.
OHS is planning special exhibitions as well as dedicated events and lectures throughout 2026 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of our country's founding, which will provide a special opportunity for the community to explore, consider, and celebrate what our nation and Oysterponds mean to them.
This year-long program will highlight how the 18th century residents of Oysterponds lived through a challenging time of divided loyalties and hardships.
As an OHS member you’ll get a voice in our current and future work; enjoy free or discounted entry to exhibitions, special events, lectures, and select programs; and many other benefits.
Your support makes it possible for Oysterponds Historical Society to bring the community together to share experiences and celebrate the history and culture of this special place.
