About:

Incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1979 and in 1986 the QAA opened the doors at 26 High School Avenue to the public. Since then the QAA has offered classes, education forums and hosted special events for the community. Our offices, class rooms and studios are busy today offering members and visitors of all ages the opportunity to experience and enjoy the visual arts.

In the early 1800’s the first High School was built in Quincy. The High School burned down in the early 1900’s and only the foundation survived. A new building was erected on the original foundation and it is this building that the QAA now calls home.

The image on the right depicts the current building at 26 High School Avenue. The new building was erected on the original foundation and is now the home of the Quincy Art Association.
