A Humble Beginning
Hull Artists (“HA”) began 25 years ago, in 1995 when a group of local artists created an Open Studios event to share their art with the public.   From this humble start, Hull Artists has grown to nearly 100 members who reside mostly in Hull, but also throughout the region. Hull Artists has always sought to include both fine artists and artisans, creating a unique blend by welcoming both of these artist groups.

Recent Growth and Success
The last five years has seen a tremendous growth, not only in membership, but also in HA’s ability to achieve its mission to  “promote locally produced fine art and crafts, and Hull as a seaside arts destination, through exhibits, workshops, partnerships, events, and a year-round gallery for the benefit of artists, visitors and residents of the town and region.”

HA has expanded the public’s access to members’ art through partnerships with local businesses that have included local realtors, hotels, restaurants, and the town hall.  A major step forward was the creation of our year-round retail gallery, Gallery Nantasket, that has grown to showcase the creative work of more than one-third of our members.  We have expanded our class offerings and sponsor art events throughout the year.

HA’s Open Studios Tour event in July and August remains our signature event and attracts more than 1,000 visitors.  It is a highlight of the region’s summer arts calendar.

This past year, Hull Artists played a significant role in helping create Hull’s ArtWalk, through donations, creation of public art, and participation on town committees.
