Whether you are an artist or someone who likes art, if you are in the Almonte area we'd love to meet you at one of our events or meetings.
The membership normally meets the second Monday of each month from September to June at 7:30 at the Almonte Public Library. Anyone interested in AAAA is welcome to attend.
The AAAA regularly invites guest artists to its monthly meetings to give lectures and demonstrations on many topics including new techniques, promoting and pricing artwork, their view and experience with art and their success stories, etc. These lectures by practicing professional artists help to inspire members to explore new areas, to improve their work and the marketing of their art. From time to time, workshops may also be scheduled to provide hands-on learning of new art mediums, tools and creativity techniques. Gallery tours may also be arranged to enable members to view works of new and popular artists.
AAAA’s largest venue for our artists to display and sell their work publicly began in 1991 at the Old Post Office in Almonte. By 1992, the show was moved to the attic of the Almonte Old Town Hall and it has been held there ever since, hence the name: Art in the Attic. Further information on this years show can be found on the Art in the Attic page
The Association also works closely with the coordinators of the Corridor Gallery at the
History
Almonte Public Library and at the Chambers Gallery in the Mississippi Mills Administration Building where many members of the Association have displayed their work.There is also the annual, and very popular, “Show and Tell” evening at one of the monthly meetings in the spring where members can show off their work to other members and guests.
The Associations constitution was completed in 2008 and ratified by the membership in June of that year.
