For Artists: How to Locate the Juried Acceptances List on the Website:

Under the main menu, select Exhibitions; move over to the gray box and select Juried Show Acceptances. That will take you to a page that lists all the juried shows EAA has had since 2012.

Our Members Shine!
The following EAA members' artwork has been accepted into the Connecticut Women Artists 2016 86th Annual National Open Juried Exhibition on display at the Slater Museum in Norwich, now through September 23. Congratulations to Patricia Corbett, Carol DeBerry, Linda Lancz, Nancy Oates, Ellen Gaube, and Carol Dunn.

Congratulations to Anne Coffey, Carin Roaldset, and Lionel Williams who recently became Elected Artists of Essex Art Association.

Elected Artist, Lee Bardenheuer, is part of a group of artists exhibiting at the Acton Public Library in Old Saybrook August 2-30. 

Several members participate in an on-going exhibit at the Lyme/Old Lyme Senior Center at 26 Town Woods Road in Old Lyme.

Fourteen plein air paintings by Elected Artist Thomas G. Mayer are on display at People's Bank in Madison, CT. The landscapes were painted on the East Coast of Florida this past winter. Ocean and river views as well as palm trees and other typical scenery are depicted. The display runs through August.

We are very proud of the artistic accomplishments of our members. Click here for even more!
