The Franklin Art Association was established in 1971 to provide a forum for the promotion of visual arts; for the preservation of the finest artistic traditions by means of exhibiting works, conducting classes, lectures, and sponsoring other activities favorable to artistic expression and to provide friendly exchanges among painters, photographers, sculptors and those interested in the fine arts. Regular monthly meetings are held at the Franklin Senior Center, 10 Daniel Mccahill St. in Franklin, from 6:30 p.m. to approximately 9:00 p.m., the first Wednesday of each month, September through June. Meetings feature demonstrations by regional artists of note, and occasional studio experiences. In addition, the Association sponsors several fine art shows and workshops each year and funds a scholarship competition for local high school seniors. The Franklin Art Association is open to all artists and art enthusiasts, student, amateur and professional.
