About the Dedham Art Association

Dedham Art Association has a long history of over 30 years as a non-profit in the local area.

Based in Dedham, a number of towns are represented by our membership. Our members are artists of all experience levels and non-artists who appreciate art. The community accessibility, educational focus and our welcoming culture make it possible for us to continue to grow and thrive. We provide time and support for local art projects and local causes.

We welcome all artists and non-artists as members and foster a friendly atmosphere for networking and fulfillment through art.
