Essex Art Association Exit Gallery space renamed
in honor of Bob Gantner.

Bob Gantner has been a driving force behind the Essex Art Association. He has worn many hats during his approximately 20 years on the EAA Council, including: council member, vice president, president, treasurer, and most importantly, friend and mentor to everyone who has followed in his footprints.

In honor of Bob's dedicated and caring service to the Essex Art Association, we are extremely happy to announce that the Exit Gallery has been renamed to the Gantner Gallery.

Thank you Bob for all you've done.

Our Gallery is located at
10 North Main Street
Essex, CT

Gallery Hours
1-5 pm daily, except Tuesdays

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.

Each year we rely on our members to gallery sit, bring food to openings, chair and hang shows, help with maintenance, encourage friends to join, and donate through your renewed membership and show entries.
