Mystery Kits for 2022

The Mystery Kits are in! The theme this year is “We are all connected!” The kits sold out in no time last year, so be sure to get to the gallery and get yours before they are gone! All the kits are identical (and include a canvas), but the finished pieces of art are always amazingly different. Most importantly, the proceeds from the sales go to our scholarship fund. The finished pieces will be featured on our theme show wall in October, so you have all summer to work on them. Thank you to volunteers from RiverWoods Exeter who helped us put the kits together (shown here). Photos here from the gallery show committee chair Carol Poitras with the finished kit, scholarship committee co-chair Maryclare Heffernan showing the long display of bags, and Bill Childs visiting with fellow SAA artist member/retired art teacher Martha Rives (who had been his intern many years ago!) who came in to get her kit as soon as they went on sale!

You can of course see and purchase artwork by appointment just by emailing us at gallery@seacoastartist.org. One of our artists will be happy to meet you at the gallery. We will be open regular hours until Christmas. After Christmas, our hours will be 1-4 on Sun 12/26, Wed 12/29 and Thurs 12/30. Theme show artists are welcome to take their work from the “Big Gifts Come in Small Packages” show on December 26, 29, or 30, 1pm-4pm. We will be closed on New Year’s Eve Day. The January Theme Show has been canceled, so next is “Let Me Show You What I Love.” Drop off is Saturday, Jan 29, 10-3. BOW shows for Jan have been rescheduled. Keep checking our Facebook page for updates. Our artists and our community are the most important part of the SAA. We want you all to be safe and healthy in this coming New Year.
