An art exhibit by the community, for the community!

Exhibition Boasts Diverse Array of Community Talent- Opening Jan 7th!

Peterborough, NH— Sharon Arts is pleased to announce that the 63rd Annual Members Exhibition – a continuing tradition for the  Monadnock Region- will be opening on Friday, January 7^th from 5 to 7pm. The public is welcome to attend this free opening reception- refreshments will be served and many artists will be on-hand to share their work!

Each year, Sharon Arts members, students, staff and faculty are invited to display their work at the newly purchased Exhibition Gallery at Depot Square in Downtown Peterborough. Open to all current SAC members, the exhibit is a major display of art including paintings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, textiles and more. This year, Gallery Director Camellia Sousa reports that entries also include more diverse mediums such as: egg tempera painting; charcoal drawing; metalwork in copper, bronze, and silver; photography, and silk-screening. Participating artists represent all ages and all levels of experience- a cross-section of our creative community. This exhibition continues to be a great opportunity to view original works of art created by fellow members of the community and for artists in the community to show their work (in many instances for the first time).

“From creative teens to talented RiverMead residents, our Annual Members’ Exhibition is always a wonderful display of talent from within and beyond the Monadnock Region,” explained Sharon Arts Gallery & Store Director Camellia Sousa.

The 63rd Annual Members Exhibition will be on display from January 7th through February 26th, 2011 in the Downtown Galleries located at 30 Grove Street in Depot Square, Peterborough.
