Essex Art Association
10 N Main Street

The Essex Art Association, housed in a historic Essex building, has served the Shoreline area as a nonprofit seasonal art gallery since 1946. We were the first local art association to embrace all styles of art, from the traditional to the cutting edge. The excellence and variety of our shows have made the EAA an outstanding exhibition venue showcasing quality art.
Several shows during our typical season offer opportunities for artists and art lovers alike. In a normal year, our opening show, the Valley Regional High School Student Show, highlights the exciting and refreshing work of young artists. Throughout the season three regular show categories are offered to artists: Juried, Open, and Elected Artist. The open shows and Elected Artist show are judged for awards, and all entries are hung if space permits. Juried shows are limited to 80 works chosen by the juror from over 200 entries. In addition to these shows, Gantner Gallery solo shows highlight some of the most interesting and accomplished artists who were show winners during the previous year.
The gallery season has been traditionally extended by rentals offered to members for their own shows.
We welcome you to be a part of this vital and growing community art organization. We want to exhibit your work and give you the space to walk around, view the shows and perhaps purchase a piece of original artwork. Volunteer opportunities allow art lovers and artists to join in the ongoing life of our gallery. Your membership, participation and donations are essential to the achievement of our mission to promote art appreciation and artists’ recognition in the communities that we serve.
