OMI International Arts Center

Art Omi, formerly Omi International Arts Center, is a non-profit international arts organization located in Columbia County in Ghent, New York. The organization provides residencies for writers, artists, architects, musicians, dancers and choreographers. Art Omi presents the works of contemporary artists and architects over 120 acres of fields and forests, offering the opportunity to experience a range of large-scale works in a singular outdoor environment, along with the Newmark Gallery. The Sculpture & Architecture Park currently offers more than 60 works of art and architecture on view, with pieces added or exchanged each year. The Sculpture & Architecture Park is accessible on foot throughout all weather, all year long. If seeking to experience all of the artworks on view, one will traverse grassy fields, forested paths, hills, and footbridges. There are no paved walking paths, and occasionally the trails become muddy and sometimes even impassable. Ticks, poison ivy, mud, and other natural hazards may be present. Be prepared with sturdy footwear and appropriate attire to best enjoy your experience. Art Omi welcomes the public to its grounds free of charge. Visitors are strongly encouraged to register in advance. The Sculpture & Architecture Park is open daily from dawn until dusk year-round. All visitors with dogs are required to register with the free Dog Pass Program in the Benenson Visitors Center to receive either an annual or daily dog pass.
