NAA presents the Master Artists Exhibition & Reception

Newburyport Art (NAA) presents the NAA Master Artists Exhibition, on view in the Sargent, Hills, and Mural galleries. In 2019, Newburyport Art unveiled its “Master Artist” honor, open by application to its members across all mediums. This distinction recognizes member artists who have reached a level of excellence in their chosen art form, made apparent through achievements and participation in a variety of gallery showings.

The 2023 Master Artists Exhibition features 86 works by 49 artists, resulting in a show that is thought-provoking and sophisticated. Congratulations to the participating artists: Thom Adorney, J.C. Airoldi, Judy Miller Bailey, Tom Bailey, Kale Baker-Amato, Jeffrey Briggs, Lindley Briggs, Nancy Cahan, Sue Charles, Keith Demanche, Sara Demrow Dent, Mike Dorsey, Cassie Doyon, Cheryl Dyment, Wolfgang Ertl, Jeannette Steele Esposito, Karen Fitzgerald, Margie Florini, Diane Francis, Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord, Renee Giffroy, Ann Gillespie, Kelley Hails, Law Hamilton, Al Hiltz, Annalee Johnson, Ann Jones, Cindy Journey, Donald Jurney, Sandra Kavanaugh, Ryan Kelley, Judith Larmay, Peggy Luderer, Janet MacLeod, Carmela Martin, Cheryl Miller, Madalene Murphy, Timothy Neill, Maria Nemchuk, Bethany Peck, Christine Riccardi, Patricia Schappler, Debbie Shirley, Susan Spellman, Stoney Stone, Janet Sutherland, Amy Vander Els, Mary Ann Varoski, and Mary Webber.
