Newburyport Art is proud to announce their annual National Juried Show

Newburyport Art (NAA) is proud to announce the 2026 National Juried Show, Juried by James Stroud. The show features 121 pieces made by 104 artists whose work was selected from nearly 600 entries. This highly competitive show is rich in painting, photography, printmaking, pastel, drawing, and sculpture.

James writes about the exhibit, “I was truly honored to serve as the juror for the Newburyport Art Association’s 2026 National Juried Show. I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing the wonderful selection of entries, which was the largest number ever received for this exhibition. Given the gallery's space constraints, I strove to be as inclusive as possible across genres and media… The selection process is always difficult, and I extend my warmest congratulations to the exhibiting artists. [The artwork] truly stood out.” 

 The 2026 National Juried Show is on view throughout the Sargent, Hills and Hartson galleries. An opening reception and awards presentation by juror James Stroud, will be held Saturday, June 6th, from 4-6pm with light refreshments and beverages. The event is free and open to the public.
