Our current Essex Corinthian Yacht Club show!
An added Essex Art Association member benefit is the ability to exhibit at the Essex Corinthian Yacht Club (ECYC) http://www.essexcorinthian.org/ 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.
Griswold Inn Art Talk
On November 13, nearly thirty Essex Art Association members and guests were treated to a guided tour of the Griswold Inn's storied art collection. The Griswold Inn's outstanding collection of marine art and artifacts include prints by Currier & Ives and Endicott & Co, ship's portraits by James Bard, Antonio Jacobsen, Charles Parsons and others, and illustrations by Samuel Ward Stanton and Norman Rockwell. 2016 is the 70th anniversary of the Essex Art Association and the Griswold Inn talk was the final event to celebrate that anniversary. A big "thank you!" to our tour guide as well as the staff of the Inn!
