North Shore Arts Alliance works on behalf of artists in Chautauqua County and surrounding areas. We are home to artists representing painting, photography, sculpture, pottery, jewelry, fiber arts, wood, and mixed media. Our signature event is the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail, though we help create and promote a variety of arts-related events.
We welcome you to join us to meet your neighbors, your passion, or simply escape into a vibrant world of color and creativity. Explore exciting NSAA exhibitions, inspiring art classes and artists’ shows and awards, recent NSAA Art Scholarship winners from a local high school, and cruise through archived newsletters.
Discover an Eclectic Range of Art! The diverse art you’ll find at North Shore Arts Alliance will delight your senses and stir your soul. Many styles and mediums are represented. There are lots of unique items for the casual visitor or serious collector and each piece tells a story.
As artists, we do work that is personal. The annual Chautauqua Lake Erie Art Trail Open Studio and Gallery Tour is an opportunity to visit the personal places where we live and create our work, and get to know us. We live in and find our inspiration in one of the most beautiful, picturesque regions of New York State. As you travel to visit us, see what we see every day — verdant vineyards and fields, lush forests, rolling hills, and spectacular shorelines along Lake Erie and Chautauqua Lake.
