About the organization
The Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) is a nonprofit arts organization founded in 1945 on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. Established by a group of local artists, it has grown into a central hub for the island's visual arts community, operating galleries, studios, and educational programs. Its mission is to foster the creation and appreciation of art through exhibitions, workshops, and fellowships, with a particular emphasis on supporting artists at all stages of their careers. The AAN's Hale Masters of Fine Art Fellowship, for example, provides a residency opportunity for emerging and mid-career artists to develop their work in a supportive, retreat-like environment.
Programs & opportunities
2 listedTaking part
Artists interested in AAN's programs should first review the specific eligibility and application requirements for the fellowship or exhibition opportunity. The organization values work that engages with place, community, or traditional media, though contemporary approaches are welcome. Applications typically require a portfolio, artist statement, and references. Given the island setting, proposals that demonstrate a thoughtful engagement with Nantucket's environment or history may be favorably received. Deadlines are strict, and materials should be submitted well in advance. It is advisable to visit the website or contact the association for current guidelines, as offerings may vary annually.
