Calling all emerging artists! This is the perfect opportunity for students, art enthusiasts, and/or artists earlier in their career to exhibit at two historic Gloucester locations: the North Shore Arts Association and the Sargent House Museum. With its expansive harbor-side galleries, North Shore Arts Association has occupied one of the most unique and historic settings in New England since it was established in 1922. The Sargent House Museum, seated in the heart of Gloucester, offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of downtown with it's quaint New England charm and tiered gardens. Originally the home of Judith Sargent Murray, it is now home to a small collection of works by famed painter, John Singer Sargent, a relative of Judith's.
The show will run from July 11 - September 27, 2025 with multiple awards.
