Spring Fest: NAA En Plein Air Artists Live

Spring Fest, Newburyport’s spring festival, is guaranteed to entertain the whole family, featuring a great two-day lineup of vendors, artisans, live performances, family activities, and more! The weekend is organized and hosted by the Newburyport Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Newburyport Arts Collective. 

The NAA is excited to have a number of its artist members participating directly in the festival, through artist-vendor booths and plein air painting along the waterfront, behind the Firehouse Center for the Arts. The Association will also be holding an information table amongst the vendors with some merchandise and a special raffle draw that includes a pair of tickets to the highly coveted annual art auction in the fall!

What would a celebration of the arts be without some live art-making? A number of NAA artists will be contributing to the festivities by painting en plein air along the waterfront throughout the weekend! A preliminary list of artists is below, and we hope more will join in throughout the days.
