The St. Augustine Art Association has been promoting excellence in the arts since its founding in 1924. Located in the heart of St. Augustine's Historic District, the Association hosts monthly exhibits featuring works by emerging and professional artists. Our 5,000 square foot gallery serves as the community's premier art center, housing an impressive collection of Lost Colony art and providing a gathering place for art workshops, lectures, children's programs, art camp, concerts, art walks and special events. Twice a year,
volunteers stage the St. Augustine Art Association Art & Craft Festivals, attracting thousands from across the country to the area's event field. We invite you to join this vibrant arts group and encourage you to visit the downtown gallery where you'll experience the energy, artistry and beauty of St. Augustine.
