Essex Art Association

The Gantner Gallery Award is a once-in-a-lifetime award and is the Essex Art Association's highest tribute to an artist. It is given to one artist during each EAA show. It allows the recipient to present a body of work in a dedicated space during a show at our gallery. Bob Gantner was a driving force behind the Essex Art Association. He wore 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 footsteps.  In honor of Bob's steadfast and caring service to the Essex Art Association, we dedicated The Gantner Gallery in recognition of all he had done.
