NEWBURYPORT — Newburyport Art recently announced that its 2023 Members’ Fall Juried Show, is on view in the Sargent, Hills, and Hartson galleries through Nov. 12.
This show features 90 artworks across a variety of media and genres, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, mixed media, drawing and digital art. This exhibition also showcases a wide breadth of techniques — from traditional to contemporary. Newburyport Art’s annual fall juried show is a long-time favorite of its members, and this year’s show promises to impress.
This exhibition was juried by Markus Sebastiano, a Boston-based mixed media artist and owner of Blochaus Art Gallery in Newburyport. Sebastiano’s style of layering vintage paper, digital art transparencies, spray paint, acrylic, and resin has helped make his work very recognizable, especially in Massachusetts. He draws inspiration from textures of the past to combine them with contemporary photographic elements. He refers to his style as “vintage future.”
With Blochaus, Sebastiano is also a collaborator with Newburyport Art on the Newburyport Murals Project, which aims to bring public art murals to downtown Newburyport. Recently, he participated in NAA’s 22nd Annual Art Auction as a 100% donating artist.
Join NAA on Saturday, from 5 to 7 p.m., for a reception and awards presentation. Light refreshments will be served.
The galleries are free and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, from 1 to 5 p.m. Newburyport Art is closed on Mondays. The ground-floor Hills Gallery has an accessible entrance. More information, as well as an online gallery is available at newburyportart.org.
