Essex, Massachusetts — Discover the intersection of creativity and conservation at Essex County Greenbelt Association’s annual Art in the Barn event taking place this June 14-15. Now in its third decade, this popular event has long been recognized as one of the North Shore’s premier art exhibitions and sales, featuring a juried selection of works by 130 regional artists. Thousands of artworks will be on display, including paintings, photographs, sculpture, ceramics, woodworking, and more.

Art in the Barn celebrates artistic talent while also supporting Greenbelt’s vital conservation mission to protect natural land and working farms across Essex County. Artists contribute 50 percent or more of their proceeds to Greenbelt’s conservation work.

This event takes place on Allyn Cox Reservation in Essex, a stunning 31-acre property with open fields and trails on the edge of the Great Marsh and the Essex River. A beautiful destination for a day trip to view art, explore a captivating landscape, and support Greenbelt.
