Announcing our 14th National Juried Show, It's Pastel!  We're so excited to reveal that this year's event is returning to the Discover Portsmouth Center after 2 years of virtual online only due to the pandemic. The Discover Portsmouth Center in the cultural heart of the seacoast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The gallery is elegantly situated on the ground floor of an historic building which once was the main city library. It is known for the high caliber of the exhibitions displayed throughout the year. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance for the many visitors who come to the center for information, and for residents who are aware of the high-quality art shown there. The gallery is open seven days a week from 10 until 5 and is knowledgeably staffed. The show in its entirety will be posted after the opening & awards ceremony.
