Revolutionary 250: An Art Exhibition Opens July 24 at The Jug Tavern
The Ossining Arts Council is proud to sponsor Revolutionary 250: An Art Exhibition, opening Friday, July 24, 2026, at The Jug Tavern of Sparta.
On view from July 24 through August 15, this exhibition celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Independence of the United States by inviting artists to reimagine regional and historical events through artwork. The show brings together OAC member artists working across a range of styles and perspectives, offering a creative response to history, place, memory, and the continuing meaning of revolution.
The Jug Tavern is a fitting location for this particular exhibition. Located at 74 Revolutionary Road in Ossining, the historic setting creates a meaningful connection between the artwork on view and the local landscape that holds so much of our shared history. Presenting this exhibition in The Jug Tavern Gallery allows the work to be experienced in a space that feels deeply tied to the story being explored.
An opening reception will be held on Friday, July 24, from 6:00–8:00 PM in The Jug Tavern Gallery. Guests are invited to meet the artists, view the exhibition, and gather in community as we mark this milestone year through art.
OAC will also host Artist Talks and Refreshments on Sunday, August 9, from 2:00–4:00 PM, offering another opportunity to hear directly from participating artists and learn more about the ideas behind the work.
