Time to get your entries ready for the Essex Art
Association's Summer Juried Show
“Weather, Whether”
Weather, whether it’s sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, raining or snowing, windy or calm, there is beauty to be found. Cover your brush with your weather paint and just have fun putting it on your canvas where it will last forever….but do it quickly before it changes.
This is the second juried show of the Essex Art Association's 2017 season. The EAA welcomes all area artists to submit artwork for this show, which is juried for entry and awards. $1,900 in monetary prizes will be awarded in addition to the prestigious Exit Gallery Award which offers the winning artist a solo exhibit in the Art Association's Exit Gallery during the next gallery season.
Receiving Dates: Sunday, July 23 & Monday, Jul7 24 2-5 pm
Pick-up Dates: Sunday, August 20 & Monday, August 21 2-5 pm
at 10 North Main Street, Essex, CT

EAA Artists Exhibit at the Essex
Corinthian Yacht Club!
An added Essex Art Association member benefit is the ability to exhibit at the Essex Corinthian Yacht Club (ECYC) located on the Connecticut River on Novelty Lane in Essex.
ECYC hosts 4 shows per year and uses the same financial sharing model in place at EAA and splits the 25% commission from all sales with the EAA.
It’s a wonderful place to exhibit and promotes greater exposure for EAA members’ art.
There is a limit of two ready to hang pieces per show. The ECYC cannot accommodate, and thus will not be accepting, 3D art.
Pick-up and drop-off are both held at the Essex Corinthian Yacht Club.
