Welcome to the Taunton Art Association
affectionately known as the TAA.

  Check out our upcoming events!

Please Note:  We are now able to have larger numbers of people in the gallery due to relaxed restrictions according to state policies.  We still require masks to be worn in the gallery.  We would like you to continue to observe safe practices.  The warmer weather also allows for better ventilation.

​    The Taunton Art Association's objective is
    to foster the artistic interests of the people of Taunton and surrounding communities, in addition to the practice of Art among the members.
     Membership in the Taunton Art Association is open to Artists and to everyone who appreciates Art.  We are dedicated to promoting Art throughout the community.  We would love to have you join us!  
There is something magical about the creation of art.  It touches everyone differently. 
     Our theme for the year 2021 is "Art for the Soul".  The past year gave us all many challenges to say the least.  Art helps folks to see different perspectives and feel different things, and that can help a person meet challenges when they come.
    We have a lot to offer.  There are artist demonstrations at our monthly meetings, we have 1 and 2-day Workshops in various media, we offer Classes in different media, and we have three (or more) Art Shows per year.   Check our website often to see the many other art related activities we are scheduling.




The City of Taunton has issued a "Call to Artists".  You can get more information on the website   taunton-ma.gov
The invitation is to present art pieces that represent Veterans or Veteran related subjects.  The pieces need to be ready for display before June 12.  On June 12, the City of Taunton is having a day to Honor Veterans.  The art pieces will be displayed in the Liberty and Union Park on Main Street.  There is contact information on the City's website.
