The Permanent Collection includes almost 1600 works of art, including paintings, sculptures, photography and graphics. It houses one of the largest collections of ceramic sculpture by Carl Walters; watercolors by Eliot O’Hara; oils by Henry Strater; and drawings and sculpture by Isabella Howland.

The Museum is one of only two U.S. institutions possessing a complete set of all the graphic works of Jack Levine. It also has eight Reginald Marsh tempera and watercolor depictions of the Bowery and Coney Island; and seven fine works by Marsden Hartley. The OMAA collection includes a variety of works by artists associated with the famed Ogunquit arts colony, including Edward Betts, Charles Woodbury, Hamilton Easter Field, and Robert Laurent.
