The North Shore Arts Association

by Janet Knott

Nothing is more iconic in the art world than the North Shore Arts Association. Founded in 1922 it has been a place for summer shows, auctions, artist demonstrations and talks. Certainly, this summer it will continue in the tradition! Bringing glorious art work to visitors, and Gloucester residents alike!
