about

The Portsmouth Museum of Art presents the work of 21st-century emerging artists, alongside the work of established contemporary artists. We offer exhibitions and programs that educate the public about art, as well as use art as a tool to generate conversation about current events, other cultures, social issues and a wide range of other topics with a diversity of viewpoints. Our goal is to enrich the local cultural landscape by developing partnerships, creating collaborative opportunities among artists and art organizations and by presenting a complete art experience that serves to educate as well as initiate an on-going public dialogue around art.


*We do not accept or review artist submissions.
