annual national
​juried art exhibition

our longest running tradition

The Cooperstown Art Association was founded in 1928 presenting only a single show, The Annual Exhibit of Cooperstown Artists.  Since then, this annual exhibit has expanded and evolved into The Annual National Juried Art Exhibition.  Now officially in its 87th year, we have been continuing to build this exhibit into one of our largest and most expansive shows - encompassing all three gallery spaces at the CAA and taking place during July & August - the height of Cooperstown's busy summer season!
