About JCAA

About Us

Jackson Civic Art Association members include artists, both professional and amateur, as well as interested non-artists. We meet for the purpose of growing and enriching our appreciation of art, sharing fellowship and support, and enlarging our knowledge of various mediums and techniques.

Meetings and Demos

We meet regularly, the first and third Tuesdays of the month, from 6-8:30 in the Ella Sharp Museum of Art and History Community Room. Our meeting activities include valuable artist demonstrations, lectures, critiques, hands on demonstrations and pot lucks.

Exhibits and Art Shows

Members have the opportunity to participate in several juried art exhibits. The Annual JCAA Potter Center Art Exhibition, the JCAA Biennial Art Exhibition at the Ella Sharp Museum, and the Annual JCAA Art Show at the Potter Center. We also partake in many other community art shows and events that are not juried where your art can be displayed and for sale.
