The NAA sits along Newburyport's waterfront, just steps from the center of town. Established in 1948
(202)

The Newburyport Art Association was founded as a non-profit organization in 1948. The NAA is dedicated to promoting and exhibiting our members' work, to providing art education for students of all ages and skills, and to keeping the visual arts accessible for students in our local schools and for special needs adults. Today, the NAA has become the cornerstone of greater Newburyport's vibrant arts

scene with over 600 artist members from around the region exhibiting their artwork in a full calendar of open, juried, invitational, featured artist and interest group shows during the year. In addition we offer a full calendar of studio classes and workshops for children, teens and adults, and we support two important community outreach programs: ArtLink & OpArt.
