About us

Accokeek Artists Alliance (AAA) is a group of visual artists, sculptors, poets, musicians, and writers promoting the arts in Accokeek and surrounding areas.  Although we have unique styles and mediums, we are united in using art and the creative process to build community and deepen the artistic experience.

The AAA has grown from a small group of artists to an organization of over 60 members. Monthly activities are planned by the steering committee and include a wide range of options from plein air events to local market opportunities. In addition to full gallery shows at Mattawoman Creek Art Center and Harmony Hall, AAA organizes and provides an annual holiday show and market for its members to showcase their art.
