All EAA member artists are invited to exhibit their work in the Oliver O. Jensen Gallery in the River Valley Junction building at the Valley Railroad Company in Essex, CT. With 40,000 people visiting the Valley Railroad and riding the trains during the holiday season, this is a wonderful time of year to exhibit in this gallery, housed in the only heated building on site. Entries must represent the Essex Steam Train, the Becky Thatcher Riverboat, or any of the locomotives, rolling stock, buildings, signage, etc. located on the EST&R properties. Click for prospectus

Gallery hours 1-5 pm daily,
except Tuesdays

Artist's who have work at the gallery from the previous exhibits should pick up their work September 18, from 2-5 pm.

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.
