Directions

We are located in a historic mill building next to the canal in downtown Lawrence.

From the north: On route 495-S, take exit 45B for Marston Street. At the third set of lights, turn left onto a very small bridge that crosses the canal, then turn right onto Island Street. EAC is on the left, opposite the canal.

From the south: On route 495-N, take exit 44-45 and follow signs for Marston Street. At the third set of lights, turn left onto a very small bridge that crosses the canal, then turn right onto Island Street. EAC is on the left, opposite the canal.

Parking: There is ample free parking in the large lot next to our building. We have some street parking and handicap-accessible spaces in front of the building. From the parking lot, you will see a large mural on the side of our building. Enter through the brick archway on Island Street, then proceed up the wheelchair-accessible ramp.

Public Transportation: The Lawrence Commuter Rail Station is located at South Union and Merrimack Streets, less than a ten-minute walk from the Essex Art Center. You can check train schedules here.
