SAA May 2020 Exhibiting Member and Featured Artist Exhibit

Since the gallery is closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic precautions, we have initiated a virtual exhibition of art works by our exhibiting artists. All of these original works are for sale and available for curbside pickup by appointment at our gallery. If you are interested in one of these works, contact gallery@seacoastartist.org by email.

A portion of the sales proceeds will be donated to a local charity that supports those affected by the pandemic.

The Seacoast Artist Association is an all-volunteer non-profit completely supported by donations, exhibition fees, and sales commissions. If you wish to contribute to help our organization get through these difficult times, mail your check to:
Seacoast Artist Association, 130 Water Street, Exeter, NH 03833
