Sharon Arts Downtown Galleries Expands Display Opportunities for Juried Member Artists
Peterborough, NH://Reaffirming their commitment to local artists, Sharon Arts Center is pleased to announce the dedication of newly 
available display space in the downtown galleries exclusively to exhibiting the work of more than 80 “Juried Member Artists.”
Formerly a sales area for artist supplies, the new space extends and expands the downtown galleries’ display capacity by approximately one-third. Said Gallery Director Camellia Sousa in announcing the addition, “We’re absolutely delighted to have this new space and to be able to offer our Member Artists additional opportunities to show and market their work. It’s a good example of SAC listening to community feedback and reaffirms out commitment to local artists.”
Currently, the space is being utilized for Sharon’s Annual Holiday Miniatures Show, with hundreds of affordable tiny treasures to choose from. These small works range from traditional to contemporary, and include many different mediums including oil, watercolor, pastel, collage, photography, and more. The mini’s are available for viewing and for purchase now through December 31st 2010 in the Juried Members Gallery in Depot Square in downtown Peterborough. Ample parking is available.
