ABOUT THE BARRYVILLE AREA ARTS ASSOCIATION

The Barryville Area Arts Association (BAAA, established 2006) is a diverse group of over 125
dedicated creative artists and arts advocates who have joined together for the purpose of promoting
and supporting an already strong and growing arts community.

Our designated region crosses both sides of the scenic Delaware River: Barryville, Eldred, Glen
Spey, Highland Lake, Minisink Ford, Pond Eddy, and Yulan in New York State; Greeley, Lackawaxen
and Shohola in Pennsylvania.

We enjoy sharing our ideas about art, and are passionate about bringing this art into the unique
towns where we live. We believe strongly in the power and democracy of art, and allowing its impact
to be felt by all.

Our members are an eclectic mix of painters and potters; designers and sculptors; writers and
musicians; performers and photographers; filmmakers and quilters; and impossible-to-describe. We
are natives and transplants; full-timers and part timers; city hardened and country reprieved; long-
time professionals and emerging creators.

We all love and are committed to what we create, and enjoy exchanging ideas and information about
our creative work, our communities, our interests, and our world.

We long to share our work and creative process with others. Our homes and studios are an
irresistible treat: an array of fantastic gardens, views, historic renovations, fantasy, and secret
worlds, all conveniently congregated within a 15 mile radius of one another. Every overgrown path,
creaking stairwell, vine-covered shed, crumbling rock wall, sun-kissed porch and wildflower patch
leads to more….and more….art. It appears in the most unsuspecting places.

Let us put you under our spell. Give the river a rest….drag yourself away from your favorite antique
shop….let someone else prepare the evening’s barbecue… and delight yourself with an
unforgettable art odyssey.

Oh, and one more thing. Please spread the word that it’s important to support local artists!
