Now in its 10th decade, the Marblehead Arts Association (MAA) is located in the historic King Hooper Mansion. The MAA was founded in 1922 by a small group of artists who took action to support their beliefs that a vibrant art community was integral to the well-being of Marblehead and the surrounding community. The MAA continues to grow and prosper currently serving 500+ artistically diverse artists, associate and corporate members. Six galleries of exhibits by association members and guest artists rotate approximately every six weeks displaying over 1,200 original works of art annually. A cornerstone of the MAA is arts education and programming, including adult and children’s classes, musical and theatre performances and a vibrant lecture series.

The Swampscott Arts Association(SAA) began in the 1940’s when a group of well known professional artists came together at the Swampscott Public Library to meet and create exhibits. The Association now offers 4 non-juried art exhibits a year as well as art demonstrations and workshops. Prizes and ribbons are awarded for each show by professional artists. Membership is open to all local artists and photographers.
