Grosse Pointe Artists Association

The Grosse Pointe Artists Association (GPAA) began in 1927, when a group of artists organized a juried exhibition at a local club. It soon started offering art classes, and returned in May 2016 to its first home, The War Memorial in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. The association holds eight exhibitions a year, each with a gallery talk by its juror, and schedules about 40 art classes and workshops. It also runs the Promising Artists exhibition for area high school students, art therapy for veterans, and a morning art program for elderly people and their caregivers. Its programs are run by volunteers.
