"The Braintree Art Association is dedicated to promoting and celebrating the visual arts."
We were founded in 1960 by a small group of talented and dedicated art enthusiasts. The Braintree Art Association has been a constant presence in the community providing support and inspiration to an ever-growing membership. There are currently over one hundred members from Braintree and the surrounding communities. We have a full schedule that provides opportunities for all to participate. Our monthly newsletter keeps members updated.
Our activities include:
•
Monthly member meetings at the Thayer Public Library with a demonstration by a prominent local artist.
