April 4 —October 13, 2025
Portsmouth Historical Society is once again joining forces with New Hampshire Art Association in 2025. This exhibition will be a contemporary response to the themes addressed in “Winds of Change,” the retrospective of Cabot Lyford opening through November 2, 2025.
Originally incorporated in 1940, New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit contemporary arts organization dedicated to presenting and supporting emerging regional art and artists in New England. In 1990, the NHAA opened its doors in Portsmouth, New Hampshire at 136 State Street. Thanks to philanthropists, lenders, and leadership who recognized the need for a community space to support the visual arts.
The call for art for “Contemporary Currents” will focus on the themes of experimentation and advocacy through art, major themes addressed in “Cabot Lyford, Winds of Change” on the ground floor.
More than forty artists from across the Seacoast and the state of New Hampshire have work on display in the balcony gallery in an astonishing range of media, techniques, and topics. All the works are available for purchase to benefit the New Hampshire Art Association, Portsmouth Historical Society, and most of all, the artists!
