The Northern Vermont Artist Association was founded by a group of artists led by Harold Knight, in Burlington, Vermont.

The year was 1931. Their first show was held at Ethan Allen Club, and among their first members was the renowned artist, Maxfield Parrish.

This review of that first show appeared in the Burlington Free Press on 3/2/1931.

For the first forty years the annual NVAA Juried Show was held at the new Fleming Museum, on the campus of UVM, in Burlington, VT. The membership roster in those early years featured the names of nearly every important artist then working in Northern Vermont, including Francis Colburn, Georgia Balch, Ruth Mould, Stan Marc Wright, and Roy Kennedy.
