ECOAA East Central Ontario Art Association I've been a member of ECOAA since 1980. The association has a large membership made up of artist working in all mediums. The majority of their activities are centered in the Belleville, Peterborough, Markham and as far north as Algonquin Park. Their specialty is well-organized plein air weekends with accommodation and studio space provided. Included are painting demonstrations by accomplished artists and instruction in some cases. It's a great way to learn more and meet interesting people. Charlie Spratt, ECOAA Ottawa Rep For more information see https://www.ecoaa.ca
