Become a member of our vibrant art gallery here in Kittery Foreside.
Help create and support a community of artists and friends to the arts.
2026 Memberships to the KAA are now available!
The Kittery Art Association is a member-driven 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization of volunteers. Our artists and community members make us who we are. As an Exhibiting Member, you are invited to submit work to KAA Exhibits, and receive early notices about news, exhibitions, programming, and special events. Each year, the KAA holds up to ten All Member Exhibits. Exhibiting Members may also apply to sell their work in the Gallery Shop.
Our Exhibiting Members are the heart and soul of the KAA. Your artwork and energy provides our exhibits and programs with the vital resources necessary to prosper. Your annual membership contribution helps us serve our creative community and offer a space for the arts and artists to flourish.
Please keep in mind that The Kittery Art Association is a volunteer organization, and we request that our Exhibiting Members contribute their time through volunteering. We encourage you to remain active in our arts community throughout the season. The time and dedication of our Exhibiting Members make everything possible at the KAA; our member artists are the volunteer staff at our front desk in our gallery, they make it possible to be open to the public for regular business hours, have artwork available for sale, and serve on committees that present a full calendar of exhibits, arts programming, music, and more.
