Welcome to the Winthrop Art Association!

Display your Work

Membership in the WAA entitles you to participate in events throughout the year.  We have four “Art in the Park” programs scheduled for this summer at Crest Avenue Park.  The Spring Art Festival member cost to enter encourages members to participate. 

Watch and Learn

Our demonstrations and workshops are great opportunities to learn and be inspired!  We have a demonstration planned with Martha Chapman on Japanese fish painting, the art of Gyotaku on Sunday September 29.  On November 10 Page Coviello will demonstrate clay art/sculpture.  For more information on these two demonstrations, contact Dawn Mahoney,  6 17-846-2644.

Thanks to a grant from Save the Harbor, the Winthrop Art Association sponsored a free, public “Driftwood Collage Workshop with Richard Honan” on August 10.   This workshop was one of the highlights of the summer in Winthrop!  Thanks to St. John’s Episcopal Church for offering a back-up venue in the event of rain. 

Connect

Meet other artists and people from our supportive arts community.  We are planning a trip to Gloucester on Sunday, August 25 to visit the Cape Ann Museum and the galleries at Rocky Neck. Lunch will be at the Gloucester House.  For reservations, please contact Dawn Mahoney, 617-846-2644.  A $25 deposit is required.
