Portsmouth, NH- The New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) is proud to present the 40th Annual Omer T. Lassonde Exhibition. Opening April 3, 2026, this milestone exhibition brings together artists from across New England in a juried celebration honoring one of NHAA’s founding members and passionate advocate for artists, Omer T. Lassonde. Over the past four decades, the Omer T. Lassonde Exhibition has become one of NHAA’s most anticipated annual events, showcasing outstanding contemporary work across a wide range of media and styles. As the exhibition marks its 40th anniversary, it continues to reflect NHAA’s enduring mission: to cultivate creativity, community, and culture through a shared love of art — affirming that art is for everyone, locally and globally. This year’s exhibition will be juried by Michael Rose, an art gallerist, writer, and arts leader based in Providence, Rhode Island. A sought-after juror and judge, Rose has helped shape dozens of exhibitions at organizations throughout New England. With his deep commitment to supporting artists and fostering thoughtful dialogue around contemporary art, Rose brings a valuable perspective to this year’s selection process. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top exhibitors: $1,000 for First Place, $750 for Second Place, and $500 for Third Place, along with several Honorable Mentions. This year’s exhibition drew strong interest from across the region, with 156 New England artists submitting 372 works, underscoring the enthusiasm regional artists have for participating in local gallery spaces. The 40th Annual Omer T. Lassonde Exhibition will be on view at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, 136 State Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801, from April 1–26, 2026, with an opening reception on Friday, April 3, from 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.

The Spice of Life- Sally Newman Portsmouth, NH- What if the ordinary moments of daily life were seen from above; alive with motion, color, and rhythm- In her latest exhibition, oil painter Sally Newman transforms familiar scenes into animated compositions that pulse with movement and storytelling. Newman’s distinctive style, which she calls “Anirealism,” merges realism with the heightened intensity of animation. Everyday imagery becomes layered and expressive, framed by bold dark lines that amplify color and emphasize action. Many of her paintings are viewed from above the picture plane, offering a sweeping perspective that draws viewers directly into the scene rather than positioning them as distant observers. Long fascinated by the world around her, Newman focuses on the gestures and routines that define human experience. Her work captures not just what we do, but the energy and spirit within those moments. A graduate of the City College of New York with further fine arts study at Notre Dame College in Manchester, New Hampshire, Newman has exhibited widely across the United States. Her work has received national recognition, including mention in the Huffington Post, and she has earned awards from numerous arts organizations. Most recently, she received the 2025 Artists Choice Award from the Nashua Artists Association and an Honorable Mention from the New Hampshire Art Association. Newman is a member of the New Hampshire Art Association, the National Association of Women Artists, and the Copley Society of Art. Her paintings are held in private collections throughout the country. Through “Anirealism,” Newman offers a renewed way of seeing; one that reveals the animation, color, and vitality embedded in everyday life. Spaces and Places Reimagined- Tom Cawthon Portsmouth, NH- A shaft of light across concrete. The geometry of a stairwell. The quiet tension between shadow and structure. In Spaces and Places Reimagined, photographer Tom Cawthon reveals the subtle drama embedded within architectural spaces and everyday environments. This series dissolves the boundary between the built world and abstraction. Through precise composition, sharp lines, and richly textured surfaces, Cawthon transforms familiar structures into contemplative studies of light, form, and atmosphere. His images encourage viewers to slow down and rediscover the poetry hidden in ordinary places. A self-taught photographer, Cawthon divides his time between Florida, New England, and Belize. His early years photographing the natural landscapes of North Florida, and covering collegiate sports, laid the foundation for a career that would later include leading graphic design, commercial photography, and videography teams. After stepping away from corporate work, he returned to a more personal exploration of the world around him, focusing on the spaces we inhabit and the human presence within them. Working in both color and black and white, Cawthon is known for his attention to detail and composition. Whether capturing architectural forms, street scenes, or abstract elements of the natural world, his photographs highlight moments of structural elegance. His work has been exhibited widely in galleries and institutions throughout North and Central America. In Spaces and Places Reimagined, Cawthon offers a new way of seeing; one that uncovers abstraction, intimacy, and meaning within the spaces we often overlook. The Spice of Life and Spaces and Places Reimagined will be on view at Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, 136 State Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801, from April 1st-26th, with an opening reception on April 3rd, 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

Contemporary Currents Portsmouth, NH- In September 1961, Portsmouth residents Betty and Barney Hill reported what would become one of the most widely known UFO encounters in American history. Their account, describing large-eyed extraterrestrials, celestial maps, and mysterious spacecraft, quickly entered the cultural imagination, shaping how alien encounters would be depicted in film, television, and literature for decades. Presented alongside the Portsmouth Historical Society’s exhibition exploring the Hills’ story, NHAA’s Contemporary Currents brings together approximately 40 contemporary works that engage with themes of extraterrestrial encounters, space, and the powerful role of pop culture in shaping collective narratives. At the same time, the exhibition considers the idea of the “other”, inviting artists and viewers alike to reflect on alienation, curiosity, and the ways unfamiliar experiences can challenge our perceptions and expand our understanding of identity and belonging. Contemporary Currents will be on view at Portsmouth Historical Society, 10 Middle Street, Portsmouth, NH, from April 1st - November 2nd.

Yann Martel with “Son of Nobody”

Evening’s Moderator: Nick Capodice, co-host of NHPR’s Civics 101 In Son of Nobody, The Psoad is an Ancient Greek epic in free verse that follows a goatherd’s son, Psoas of Midea, who leaves his wife and family to fight with the Greeks at Troy. This commoner’s story was lost to time—until Harlow Donne, a Canadian academic who has left his own wife and daughter behind to study at Oxford, discovers its relics nearly thirty centuries later. As sole translator and interpreter of The Psoad, Harlow dedicates the poem and its footnotes to his daughter, Helen. Under his gaze, a personal message to his beloved child appears in the ancient text, like a palimpsest. Despite the thousands of years and hundreds of miles that separate Psoas and Harlow, a thread hasn’t frayed: the universal song of homesickness and regret, of love, ambition, and grief. Son of Nobody takes readers from the plains of Troy to the halls of Oxford, from the classical to the contemporary, from ancient verses to modern footnotes. It is a dazzling, masterful feat of myth, history, and domesticity that explores how stories become facts, the price we pay to share them, and how we live—then, now, always. Yann Martel is the author of Life of Pi, the international bestseller that won the 2002 Booker Prize and was adapted to the screen in the Oscar-winning film by Ang Lee. He lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. A Partnership Between

Lake Street Dive have pushed the possibilities of pop music as a unifying force, not only through their eclectic sound—a boldly original cross-pollination of soul, folk, jazz, classic pop, and more—the five-piece’s all-embracing ethos has also made them a beloved live band known for building a potent connection among every crowd. In the making of their GRAMMY-nominated album Good Together, vocalist Rachael Price, bassist/background vocalist Bridget Kearney, drummer/background vocalist Mike Calabrese, keyboardist/vocalist Akie Bermiss, and guitarist/background vocalist James Cornelison reinforced the deep sense of purpose behind their output, often turning their attention to the many factors driving us apart today (e.g., unchecked technological growth, culturally imposed isolation, the cult of relentless self-optimization). Born from a mindset they refer to as “joyful rebellion,” Good Together arrives as a body of work both gloriously defiant and primed to inspire unbridled dancing and ecstatic singing-along.  The follow-up to 2021’s Obviously, Good Together finds Lake Street Dive working again with Grammy-winning producer Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Sheryl Crow, Gary Clark Jr.). With its sonic landscape encompassing everything from R&B to funk to Brazilian pop, the album opens on its title track: a left-of-center love song celebrating the thrill of defying expectation and following your heart’s desire. Next, on “Dance with a Stranger,” Lake Street Dive once again prove their undeniable gift for crafting feel-good songs with an illuminating message, simultaneously inducing a carefree euphoria and gently fostering empathy. The wildly cathartic “Walking Uphill” presents gripping meditation on the work of self-repair, while “Seats at the Bar” puts a sweetly playful twist on the classic love song. And on “Twenty-Five,” Price shares a stark and lovely ballad steeped in tender reminiscence of a long-ago romance. All throughout Good Together, Lake Street Dive tap into the palpable camaraderie that’s fueled the band since their formation, ultimately delivering their most collaborative, expansive, and powerfully exuberant work to date. About The Kita Center The Kita Center, a non-profit in Southern Maine, is dedicated to preventing suicide by building intentional environments to foster connections and lifelong engagement with mental wellness. Originally established as Camp Kita in 2013, The Kita Center has since expanded to support individuals affected by suicide loss and risk. Its flagship program, Camp Kita, provides a traditional summer camp experience, tuition-free, for children ages 8-17 who have lost a loved one to suicide. Alongside typical camp activities, licensed clinical professionals lead peer support sessions and provide 24/7 trauma support. Donations help keep Camp Kita tuition-free and support The Kita Center’s additional programs, which primarily serve families in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.  If you or a loved one need assistance, please dial or text 988 or visit the 988 Life Line website for resources.

Join the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce and host The Herbal Path for an informative session on herbal remedies. Before the turn of the 20th century, plants were the foundation of medicine. Pharmacists and physicians were skilled in identifying, growing, preparing, and dispensing herbal remedies. Healing knowledge was rooted in close observation of nature, the seasons, and generations of lived experience. Plants were not considered “alternative”; they were medicine. This talk explores how our understanding and use of herbal remedies has shifted since 1900, as medicine moved from plant-based preparations to laboratory-derived pharmaceuticals. We’ll examine the pivotal role botanicals once played in medical education and practice, how industrialization and regulation reshaped healthcare — and as a result — our way of thinking about it. This conversation invites reflection on how traditional herbal wisdom can inform modern wellness today, and how integrating historical plant knowledge can help restore trust and resilience in contemporary healthcare.

Since 2009, our yoga community has gathered each year for this joyful and deeply meaningful event. The Yoga Mala is more than a fundraiser—it’s a reunion, a ritual, and a reminder of what’s possible when we come together with shared intention. Each year, the space fills with stories of physical and emotional healing, tender reconnections with familiar faces, and the beginning of new relationships rooted in care and belonging. At the heart of the event is a three-hour yoga practice led by a variety of passionate teachers. Together, we move through 108 Sun Salutations, woven with periods of meditation and restoration. *Please Note: no one is required to do all 108 Sun Salutations! Participants are encouraged to listen to their bodies, move at their own pace, rest when needed, and participate in ways that feel supportive. The Yoga Mala is accessible to practitioners of all levels, with chairs available for those who prefer or require them. Following the practice, we gather as a community to share nourishing refreshments and connection. This time together is often where the impact of the practice settles in—leaving participants feeling replenished, grounded, and inspired. Yoga in Action’s Annual Yoga Mala is also a powerful opportunity to rally together in support of equitable access to wellness. Funds raised through donations, fundraisers, partnerships, and participation directly support our free, specialized, trauma-informed yoga programs for communities facing barriers to access. These include individuals affected by cancer, people living with disabilities, those on recovery journeys, veterans, seniors, and others navigating challenging life circumstances. Your presence and participation help us continue our mission to ensure that everyone—regardless of social, physical, or financial barriers—has access to the therapeutic benefits of yoga. Thank you for being part of this ongoing journey to change the world for the better, one breath at a time.
