Housing one of the largest gallery spaces between Boston and Providence, the Attleboro Arts Museum has evolved from its modest, grassroots beginnings, into an impressive, robust and dynamic arts organization, serving as a cultural anchor for the revitalization of the City of Attleboro.The Attleboro Arts Museum involves audiences of all ages and backgrounds in the visual arts through diverse and engaging arts experiences. Serving a growing audience of more than 40,000, the museum offers local and regional communities a variety of programming, such as its W. Charles Thompson Museum School, with onsite and satellite educational classes taught by award-winning artist and educators.
The Museum continually refreshes exhibitions, and prominently displays the works of both promising and professional artists, in 3,500 square feet of gallery space, which also features 14-foot ceilings and moveable gallery walls.
The Attleboro Arts Museum hosts many special events throughout the year, including its signature annual Art Auction in the fall and Flower Show in the spring. It has recently added a Craft Fair to support the work of local artisans, and a wildly popular Poetry Slam, that spotlights performance poetry from teens and adults.
