Since 1921, the Rockport Art Association & Museum has been a gathering place of New England artists. With a long and distinguished history, the RAA&M welcomes thousands of visitors from all over the world with the promotion of year-round programs and exhibitions. The RAA&M remains dedicated to making fine art appreciation accessible to all.

The RAA&M continues to be one of Cape Ann’s most prominent cultural beacons. Since its founding, the Association has steadily increased in size and currently includes approximately 250 artist & photography members, and hundreds of contributing members. Each year, the RAA&M hangs over 40 diverse exhibitions and offers a variety of educational programs including workshops, children's classes, sketch groups, artist demonstrations, gallery talks and artist lectures.

As the Rockport Art Association & Museum celebrates over 100 years in existence, the impact on community life continues to be stronger than ever.
