Newburyport Art presents "May Exhibits"

Newburyport Art (NAA) presents three new exhibits on view at Newburyport Art. On view in the Sargent and Hartson Galleries is Paper Stories, featuring works by 84 artists. In the Hills Gallery is Light, Color… Action!, a featured artist exhibition by Adrienne Circelli-Silversmith. Lastly, in the Mural Gallery is Artist Spotlight Bill Balsam.

Paper Stories features 107 works on paper and works created out of paper. This show includes paper sculpture, watercolor, mixed media collage, pastel, printmaking and photography. Participating artists hail from across the east coast, and include work by NAA members and non-members. Visitors can expect to find themselves immersed in a wide range of subject matter, artistic techniques, and color palettes. 

In the Hills Gallery, Light, Color….Action by Adrienne Circelli-Silversmith explores the nuances of light, shadow, and color. Adrienne writes, “in these still lifes I create dynamic compositions utilizing light and shadows on objects especially on vibrant color flowers. It is a cacophony of color that I hope brings joy to all that view it.” Adrienne’s exhibit features over 30 works from her exploration into this concept.

Artist Spotlight Bill Balsam is on view in the Mural Gallery, highlighting his photographs. Bill’s pieces include nature photography, landscape, coastal, and industrial. His show is on view from May 9th to May 22nd.
 

A joint reception will be held for Paper Stories and Light, Color, Action! On Saturday, May 10th from 4:00-6:00 PM.

The galleries are free and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00am–5:00pm and Sunday from 1:00pm–5:00pm. Newburyport Art is closed on Mondays. The ground-floor Hills Gallery has an accessible entrance. More information, as well as an online gallery is available at newburyportart.org.
