About Us

Welcome to The East County Art Association (ECAA) – Celebrating Art, Connecting Communities since 1986! Established in 1986 as the El Cajon Art Association (ECAA), our organization was born from the passion and creativity of a network of local artists dedicated to showcasing their masterpieces at community events and shopping centers. Over the years, we have evolved into a respected non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status, weaving a rich tapestry of artistic expression throughout the East County community.

Welcome to the heart of The East County Art Association (ECAA), where creativity meets seasoned expertise. Our leadership team, headed by the visionary at the helm of the East County Art Association, boasts a collective experience of over 20 years in their respective fields of work. Most notably, many of our dedicated board members have been instrumental in shaping the trajectory of ECAA, serving the organization for over four years. Since the establishment of our gallery in the vibrant Downtown El Cajon, our board members have been the driving force behind our artistic endeavors. We take immense pride in the strength and commitment of our leadership, and we invite you to take a moment to acquaint yourself with the exceptional individuals who form the backbone of The East County Art Association. Meet our Board Members – the architects of our creative legacy.
