Art ‘Round Town Featured Artist:
Lennie Mullaney

We are open and free to the public on the first Friday of the month, June 4!

Plus, we’re open until 8pm for Art ‘Round Town! Artist Lennie Mullaney will be on hand to talk about her work!

Much of her work is done “en plein aire”. She is an observational artist who responds to the environment around her. “Painterly” in style, she strives to simplify that which is observed to shape, color and value.

Join us for an evening lecture with printmaker Don Gorvett as he shares tales of life working as an artist on the Seacoast and shows us the process of creating a reduction woodcut. “Working Waterfronts,” currently on display at the Portsmouth Historical Society, is the first ever retrospective on Gorvett’s work, offers a great opportunity to see the evolution of one artist’s work, and explores the dynamic medium of the reduction woodcut.
