When New York novelist Stine is lured to Hollywood to adapt his detective stories for the silver screen, he trades the gritty East Coast for a land of perennial sunshine and palm trees. But the real drama happens off-page. The Tony Award-winning City of Angels seamlessly weaves between two worlds: the vivid Technicolor reality of 1940s Hollywood and the gritty, black-and-white film noir of Stine’s imagination. As his fictional detective navigates a world of shadows, Stine faces his own dangerous temptations—sultry distractions, the hollow promise of fame, and the relentless pressure to compromise his art. Witty, glamorous, and atmospheric, this production features a sensational jazz score including “You Can Always Count on Me” and “I’m Nothing Without You.” Presented by Special Arrangement with Concord Theatricals

Portsmouth, NH – This August, New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) presents the Lotte Jacobi Juried Photography Exhibition, an annual juried exhibition celebrating regional photography. Artists from across New England were invited to submit their strongest photographic work, resulting in a dynamic exhibition that highlights a wide range of perspectives, techniques, and subjects. 69 works were chosen out of 200 for their technical excellence and thoughtful observation, showcasing how photography can capture and interpret the world around us. The exhibition features portraits, landscapes, interior compositions, and action photography, offering visitors a new perspective on how to view the world around us. NHAA honors the legacy of renowned portrait photographer Lotte Jacobi, whose pioneering advocacy helped establish photography as a respected fine art within our institution. Jacobi established herself as a prominent photographer, known for her strength in portraiture, creating celebrated portraits of many influential cultural and political figures of her time. Jacobi served on NHAA’s board of directors and advocated for photography to be accepted as a fine art medium alongside traditional artistic disciplines. This exhibition is named in recognition of Jacobi's lasting contributions to both the organization and the art of photography. Awards will be presented at NHAA’s opening reception on August 7th from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, including the Parfitt Memorial 1st Place Award for $600, 2nd Place Award for $400, 3rd Place Award for $250, and Honorable Mentions. Along with the Lotte Jacobi Award for $500 that epitomizes the art of portraiture and the Under 30 Artist Award for $100. The exhibition was juried by Glen Scheffer, a photographer and professor of photography at New England College. Based in Nashua, New Hampshire, Scheffer brings more than 20 years of teaching experience and has exhibited his work throughout the country. His thoughtful selection process brings together an exceptional collection of contemporary photography. The Lotte Jacobi Juried Photography Exhibition will be on view at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, 136 State Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801, from July 29 through August 30, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday, August 7, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., and is free and open to the public.

Portsmouth, NH — Raise a Glass to Handmade Cups. New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) is excited to present Cheers!, a juried exhibition featuring functional cups, mugs, and drinking vessels made by New England artists and craftspeople. Artists were encouraged to reimagine and stretch what a cup can be, while working in food-safe ceramics. All works are for sale, functional, and encouraged to be taken home and enjoyed upon purchase. Juried by the NHAA Curatorial Team made up of rotating artist members, NHAA staff, board members, and advisors, Cheers! pushes conceptual interpretations of the functionality, material, and look of drinking vessels. You will find handcrafted cups that embody beauty through thoughtful, minimalist form and playfully humorous cups that appear to have crawled right out of the ocean. The functional nature of these works demands an intimacy unlike that of other art, calling the viewer to experience it in a personal, tactile way. Many artists explore different ceramic techniques—from electric to wood firing, hand-built to wheel-thrown forms, and unique glazes—that all offer various distinctive visual effects. Each vessel creates a unique experience. Some are bumpy under your fingers from dynamic, jagged forms layered with vivid color, and others are smooth and ergonomic to the right pair of hands. Cheers! will be on view at the New Hampshire Art Association’s Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, 136 State St, Portsmouth, NH, 03801, from August 5th to 30th with an opening reception on August 7th, 5-8 pm. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 11 am to 5 pm, Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 6 pm, and Sunday from 12 pm to 5 pm.

Portsmouth, NH – Robin Cornwell transforms her experiences in nature into vibrant textile compositions that celebrate the beauty and vitality of the natural world. Time at the ocean, walks along local trails, and tending to gardens continually inspire her, revealing the forms, symmetry, textures, and patterns that become the foundation of her textile pieces. Cornwell embraces bold, expressive color, inventing her own vibrant interpretations of the nature she loves. Working with hand-dyed fabrics, interpretive rubber stamps, Gelli plate prints, botanical leaf prints, and felted elements, Cornwell builds richly textured surfaces that invite close observation. Real leaves are often incorporated directly into the printing process, preserving the forms that inspire her and creating a tangible connection between the artwork and its source. Every quilt begins as a series of individually printed and dyed fabrics that are carefully arranged, stitched together, and finished through hand quilting. Cornwell frequently incorporates printed hands into her imagery as a reminder of the handmade process and the personal relationship between artist, material, and the natural world. Cornwell earned a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education with a concentration in Printmaking from Plymouth State College. She spent 38 years teaching middle school art in her hometown of Wolfboro, NH, where she introduced students to a wide range of artistic techniques. Her role as educator reaffirmed her passion for printmaking. Now retired from teaching, she devotes more time to creating art, exploring the outdoors with her dog, Maizie, and returning to Nova Scotia, a place she has cherished since childhood. Flowers of the Earth, Flowers of the Sea invites viewers to appreciate the richness of the natural world through color, texture, and layered imagery, encouraging a renewed sense of wonder for the landscapes that continue to inspire her. Flowers of the Earth, Flowers of the Sea will be on view at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, 136 State Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801, from July 29 through August 30, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday, August 7, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., and is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and Sunday, 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. For more information about the exhibition and the New Hampshire Art Association, visit www.nhartassociation.org.

Portsmouth, NH – This August, New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) presents Longing for Eternity, a first solo exhibition by emerging artist Lilian Kohl exploring themes of eternity, beauty, hope, and human longing for transcendence. “In the heart of every human is a longing for that which is eternal. Our spirits ache for awe and wonder in the world.” Kohl remarks. Drawing inspiration from the ornate beauty of Rococo painting, Kohl creates luminous, idealized landscapes and still lifes that invite viewers to contemplate the relationship between the temporal and the eternal. Rich with light, color, and symbolism, the paintings imagine a world untouched by decay—a place where beauty, peace, and wonder endure beyond the limits of everyday experience. Rooted in the artist's Christian faith, the exhibition reflects her personal interpretation of biblical imagery and visions described in the Book of Revelation. Through these works, she explores questions of mortality, paradise, and humanity's search for meaning, offering viewers an opportunity to engage with themes that have inspired artists, writers, and philosophers for centuries. The exhibition invites audiences to reflect on universal questions about hope, longing, and the pursuit of an ideal world. The work offers a space for contemplation and dialogue about the ways faith, imagination, and art shape our understanding of what lies beyond our present experience. Longing for Eternity will be on view at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, 136 State Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801, from July 29 through August 30, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday, August 7, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., and is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and Sunday, 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. For more information about the exhibition and the New Hampshire Art Association, visit www.nhartassociation.org.

Portsmouth, NH — Three sister artists, three perspectives on New England landscapes. New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) is pleased to present Rooted Together: A Collection of Art by Three Sisters, including Maryclare Heffernan, Michele Rofrano, and Karen Romagna. Sharing a deep connection to the land and seascapes of the Northeast, these sisters explore the quiet awe of often disregarded instants of nature’s fascinating color, texture, and form. Their watercolor and oil scenes, ranging from serene, light-dappled cow pastures to the powerful crash of Atlantic waves on battered shores, express a vivid passion for the world around them. The sisters often paint en plein air, translating their sensory and emotional experience of these small moments firsthand onto canvas. Painting becomes a way of mindfully being present in and truly witnessing one's life undistracted. Maryclare captures the shifting elegance of constantly transforming clouds, seas, and hidden lives, and she encourages the viewer to contemplate the visual allure of the transient places we inhabit. She paints what moves her, working from a deeply personal place. Michele is a mainly self-taught artist, and after spending years in Connecticut, England, and now New Hampshire, the varied flora and fauna of each place continue to inspire her work. Karen started her career as a children’s illustrator and now captures luminous seascapes and tranquil rural scenes that evoke a sense of stillness and light. Rooted Together: A Collection of Art by Three Sisters will be on view at the New Hampshire Art Association’s Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, 136 State St, Portsmouth, NH, 03801, from August 5th to 30th with an opening reception on August 7th, 5-8 pm. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 11 am to 5 pm, Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 6 pm, and Sunday from 12 pm to 5 pm.

When New York novelist Stine is lured to Hollywood to adapt his detective stories for the silver screen, he trades the gritty East Coast for a land of perennial sunshine and palm trees. But the real drama happens off-page. The Tony Award-winning City of Angels seamlessly weaves between two worlds: the vivid Technicolor reality of 1940s Hollywood and the gritty, black-and-white film noir of Stine’s imagination. As his fictional detective navigates a world of shadows, Stine faces his own dangerous temptations—sultry distractions, the hollow promise of fame, and the relentless pressure to compromise his art. Witty, glamorous, and atmospheric, this production features a sensational jazz score including “You Can Always Count on Me” and “I’m Nothing Without You.” Presented by Special Arrangement with Concord Theatricals

L. Frank Baum’s beloved story of a young girl’s adventure in a magical land has been entertaining audiences for over a century. Based on MGM’s blockbuster 1939 film, this stage adaptation, features the characters and celebrated songs from the film, and brings the wondrous Land of Oz to life in a jubilant theatrical experience. Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both unpleasantness and beauty.
