Art Exhibit

Ashuelot River Park just across the street from Colony Mill is the scene of the Art Associations major annual fund raising event. Art in the Park on Labor Day weekend attracts over eighty artists and thousands of buyers and browsers. The proceeds from this event represents a large portion of the Associations Scholarship Fund. Each year one student from Keene High School and one from Monadnock Regional High School, who plan to pursue careers in art, are awarded scholarships. The Association has been giving these awards for many years.

The primary goal of the Keene Art Association is to bring art to the community and region by providing members with as many art exhibit opportunities as possible.
