SUMMARY:Painting with Paper: A Collage Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this NHAA artist-led workshop!\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register for the Collage Workshop\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Through the generous support of a grant from the NH State Council on the Arts\, we are able to offer two tickets for this workshop at reduced cost. If cost would be a barrier to your participation\, please reach out to Sarah Robbitts-Terry sarah@portsmouthhistory.org for more information.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Memory of a Dream by Ember Nevins. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Artist:\n \nEmber is fascinated with textures\, fragments\, and modules\, and her work seeks to explore the connections between nature and body. She views her work as an extension of her mind\, spirit\, and soul – fluctuating with the natural and organic patterns of life. Her process can be described by two actions: searching and building. She looks at her works in process as puzzles that don’t have defined pieces – images that come to life slowly through the amalgamation of fragments and displaced elements. It’s a meditative process\, where she can allow herself to be guided by her materials and trust in the final result. \n\nEmber currently lives in Dover\, New Hampshire\, and works at Kennedy Gallery and Custom Framing in Portsmouth as a full-time Picture Framer. She is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire\, where she received her BFA in Fine Arts and BA in Women’s and Gender Studies in 2024. In her free time\,

SUMMARY:Portsmouth Peace Treaty Bell Ringing
DESCRIPTION:Join us below the cherry tree at the John Paul Jones House to celebrate the Portsmouth Peace Treaty!\nThis year is the 120th Anniversary of the signing of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty on September 5\, 1905. The spirit of the Treaty\, the statesmanship of the diplomats and President Roosevelt\, and the citizen diplomacy of local people is a legacy that is perhaps more important than ever in these turbulent global times — and is echoed in the themes of the “Diplomats in Portsmouth” exhibit displayed at the John Paul Jones House. \nBy re-enacting the bellringing that occurred when the Treaty was signed on September 5\, 1905\, we echo the celebration all around the Seacoast that welcomed the news that the Russo-Japanese War was over and we commemorate the active role local citizens played in helping to achieve that peace. So the sounding of bells around the state at 3:47 pm on September 5th is the historical\, and in many ways most meaningful celebration of Portsmouth Peace Treaty Day\, an official statewide observance since unanimous legislation was passed in 2010.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book signing with author E.M. Ippolito.\nGet a chance to hear from and speak with the author of The Tears of Other People. \nBooks will be available for sale in the gift shop. Admission is free\, no RSVP required. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Author:\nEvie (E. M. Ippolito) was raised a settler on unceded Abenaki-Pennacook land in Portsmouth\, New Hampshire. She is a trans writer of fiction and nonfiction living in Brooklyn\, Lenapehoking\, where she pursues a degree in library information science.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Book:\nThe Tears of Other People is an attempt by author E. M. Ippolito to make sense of her alienation from her hometown of Portsmouth\, New Hampshire. Both local history and personal memoir\, the book explores the history of discriminatory programs on the New Hampshire seacoast\, from gentrification to European colonization\, charting personal and political connections across decades of urban change. Dispossession has an infamous history on the beautiful Portsmouth waterfront\, where in the 1960s a colonial museum called Strawbery Banke displaced the working-class neighborhood of Puddle Dock.

SUMMARY:Art Round Town
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be open until 8 p.m. every First Friday for Art ‘Round Town!\nFree admission all day long.\nVisit our most recent exhibition\, “Cabot Lyford: Winds of Change” and view highlights from our permanent collection in our “Past & Present” exhibition. \nIn addition to being open until 8 pm\, our August ART will feature live music performed by Julia Lane\, artist Cabot Lyford’s daughter\, at 12pm and 5:30pm! \nJulia Lyford Lane\, daughter of sculptor Cabot Lyford\, is an award-winning player of the Celtic Harp. She has performed with her husband\, Fred Gosbee\, as the duo Castlebay for 30 years throughout the Eastern US\, British Isles\, Ireland\, and Scotland. In addition to his musical expertise\, Gosbee is a skilled luthier\, having designed and built Celtic harps\, guitars\, and lutes. Several years ago\, Cabot Lyford gifted the couple with a carved female figurehead to be placed on the pillar of one of Gosbee’s harps. Lyford passed away in 2016 before Fred could design and build a harp big enough to accommodate the sculpture. This past spring\, coinciding with what would have been Cabot’s 100th birthday\, the harp was completed and\, after settling into its final form\, is ready to be played in honor of the sculptor. \n \nJoin Julia for a short presentation at both noon and 5:30pm about the instrument and then listen as she brings it to life playing music as people enjoy a spectrum of art from Cabot’s extraordinary career. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Add the 12:00 pm curator tour to your calendar\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Don’t forget about our free curator tours!\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n				\n					\n					\n					\n						 May 2026"Betty & Barney" Curator TourMay 1\, 2026 12:00 pm   "Betty & Barney" Curator TourMay 1\, 2026 5:30 pm   June 2026Curator Tour "Revolutionary Portsmouth"June 5\, 2026 12:00 pm
