ALL ABOUT US
This year we celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the Adirondack Art Association. In 1963, a small group of artists from the Essex- Willsboro area formed the Adirondack Art Association to “foster interest in the arts…”. Since the beginning, the hamlet of Essex has been our home base. Being close to the Ferry and a main thoroughfare has kept our gallery a destination for Art lovers and Artists.
Our 2025 season kicks off Friday, June 29, 2025 with an Opening reception 5 - 7 pm in our new home at 2310 Main Street, Essex, NY 12936. We will be showing the work of long time members and many new members.
The Adirondack Art Association (AAA) is a 501c3 not-for-profit community organization located in Essex NY. Originally started in 1963, the AAA formally received its New York State Certificate of Incorporation as a New York not-for-profit educational and cultural corporation in 1978.
The purposes for which the corporation are formed are to promote and encourage good fellowship and social activities among artists and other persons engaged in art in Essex, Clinton, Hamilton, and Warren Counties; to increase cooperation among artists, art students, and all others engaged in artistic activities and to hold exhibitions and art shows.
The AAA upholds this mission by featuring rotating fine art exhibitions, artist demonstrations, and participating and encouraging arts in town festivals and celebrations.
