Essex Art Association’s Summer 2019 Juried Show “Converge”

July 27, 2019 - August 17, 2019

The Essex Art Association is holding its second juried exhibit of the 2019 Season. The theme for this exhibition is “Converge.” Our exhibition chair, Lee Bardenheuer explained the theme this way,“Your sources are virtually without limit and a matter of your choice. Gather your favorites, put them on the end of your brush and share them with the world.”

Because juried shows are judged for entry as well as awards they are as known venues for displaying high quality artwork. The EAA invites the public to visit the gallery and view the work of our talented local artists.

The Association will be presenting $1500 in awards in 12 categories, plus one artist will receive the Gantner Gallery Award, affording them the opportunity to showcase their artwork in the EAA’s Gantner Gallery next year.

The exhibit’s opening reception is Friday, July 26, 2019, from 6-8 pm. The show runs July 27 –August 17. The EAA Gallery is located at 10 North Main Street, Essex, CT. Gallery hours: 1-5 pm daily, closed Tuesdays. For more information visit essexartassociation.com or call 860-767-8996.
