Rockport Art Association

Rockport Art Association

The Rockport Art Association was founded in 1921 by a handful of artists in Rockport, Massachusetts. Selections from its historic museum collections include sculpture, paintings, drawings and prints which capture the history of the Cape Ann community of Massachusetts.

RAA is one of the oldest art associations in the United States. It started out as an artist's cooperative and became a gathering place of many of the most influential New England artists of the 20th century. The artists "Aldro Hibbard, Antonio Cirino, Paul Strisik, Anthony Thieme, W. Lester Stevens" and "Harry Vincent" (among others) were early contemporaries closely tied to its early days.

Today, artist members are selected by a jury process.
