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.

A Letter from Our President, Chip Rutan

Dear Artists and Friends,

As another busy year comes to a close and a new one begins, we continue to thank you for supporting the gallery in many meaningful ways. Each year we rely on our members to gallery sit, bring food to openings, chair and hang shows, help with maintenance, encourage friends to join, and donate through your renewed membership and show entries. Your active participation is greatly appreciated and needed for us to prosper.
