Newburyport Art presents Miniatures & Making Time Exhibitions

Newburyport Art (NAA) is pleased to announce two new shows on view for the month of November.

Miniatures features over 100 artworks that celebrate the unique possibilities of working on an intimate scale. All artworks measure 36 square inches and smaller, and include painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, fiber, ceramics, sculpture, mixed media, and other contemporary practices. Whether highly detailed or boldly minimalist, representational or abstract, each piece demonstrates how a small format can create a powerful visual experience. This exhibition honors the enduring tradition of miniature art while showcasing the creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation of today's artists, proving that great art is not measured by size, but by its ability to captivate, inspire, and endure.

On view alongside Miniatures is Marking Time, an exhibition by Paula Edwards Borsetti & Nancy Cloonan. Both artists paint intuitively, letting the work reveal what they carry, remember, and return to. Transparent and opaque layers build up, color and line respond to one another, and instinct guides each decision. Each painting holds what accumulated in the making: a record of time, marked. 

The galleries are free and open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00am–5:00pm. Newburyport Art is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The first-floor galleries are handicap accessible.  More information, as well as an online gallery, visit newburyportart.org.
