The Adirondack Art Association (AAA) is a non-profit organization, devoted to the encouragement of art and community in the Adirondack Mountains. Their gallery features the work of artists who reside in the Northern New York Counties of Essex, Clinton, Warren, and Hamilton. The organization began in 1963, and members now number over 100, including exhibiting artists and individuals who provide enthusiastic support for the arts.
The AAA Gallery is located on Lake Champlain in historic hamlet of Essex, NY. Along with exhibiting works from local artists and celebrating several gallery exhibitions throughout the summer, the AAA also hosts workshops, children’s programs, poetry readings, and other events.
Visit the AAA Gallery to admire the art, and perhaps find a piece that demands to go home with you! The gallery features exhibits from May to October, with a special Christmas show in early December. There are always unique, beautiful, and interesting pieces on display from local artists.
The Adirondack Art Association is a non-juried gallery so all artwork is welcome including handmade craft work. If you are an artist contact the Adirondack Art Association to find out how to display your work.
