Gulf Coast Arts Alliance

The Gulf Coast Arts Alliance is a non-profit organization with the purpose of expanding the arts in Gulf Shores and coastal Alabama. The GCAA Art Gallery and Gift Shop feature the works of more than 50 local and regional artists. The Gulf Coast Arts Alliance also hosts several Art Markets, which allow artists to show and sell their original work in Gulf Shores’ Waterway Village. The Alliance is the presenting organization of the annual Ballyhoo Festival, a fine arts festival with emphasis on cultural exchange held the first weekend in March at the Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores. Art classes and stringed instrument classes are also offered at the GCAA Art Gallery.
