Hello Members, the ECOAA sends its newsletter and important announcements by email.

The East Central Ontario Art Association (ECOAA) brings together what has become a large and closely knit group of visual artists in Eastern Ontario. Our membership includes artists at various stages of competence. Many are new painters who are eager to learn, others are full time professionals who enjoy interacting with other artists.

The ECOAA is run entirely by volunteers. You are invited to become an Area Rep and participate in Executive Committee Meetings and in communicating and organizing artists in your geographic area.  

​The membership fee is modest, the rewards are great. So join us in the companionship and fun of a great association.
