Did you visit the Adirondack Art Association (AAA) Gallery this summer? This small gallery on Main Street in Essex, NY, celebrated its 50th Anniversary this year!

We are a non-profit organization devoted to the encouragement of art and community in the Adirondack region of Northern New York State. […]
The Gallery is a window on the creative spirit at work in the North Country, in media ranging from oils, watercolors and pastels to ceramics, glass and photography. (AAA)

Gallery Director Janice Koenig said that “the gallery had an eventful season, with well-attended openings and a successful 50th anniversary party/fundraising event.”

End of Season Hours and Farewell

Here’s a final farewell from Koenig with inportant information about the end of the 2013 season:

Well it’s officially Autumn now and chilly here in the gallery today. Traditional wisdom has it that we will have another little burst of tourist activity before the end. We are presently keeping hours only Friday, Saturday, Sunday 11:00AM-5:00PM.

Columbus Day will be our final day for the 2013 season and our 50th Anniversary. Thanks to all that have stopped by this year, celebrated with us, and supported us!

We are proud to promote the work of local artists and to offer art-oriented workshops for all ages that draw on the North Country's immense reservoir of artistic talent. We gratefully acknowledge the past support of the Essex Community Fund, the New York State Council on the Arts and the Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks as we look ahead to new programs that contribute to the artistic vitality of the region.
