Rocky Neck Art Colony Incorpor

The Rocky Neck Art Colony is one of the oldest working art colonies in the country, and has been luring artists to its picturesque shores for more than 150 years.

Among others, these artists include Fitz Henry Lane in the 1840s, Emile Gruppe, who made The Neck his home and painted into the 1970s, as well as Childe Hassam, Milton Avery, Maurice Prendergast, Cecilia Beaux, John Sloan, Stuart Davis, Frank Duveneck, Nell Blaine, and Jane Peterson.

Today the area is still home to many working artists and to galleries showing paintings, batik, photography, jewelry, prints, sculpture, ceramics, and fine gifts.
