Sweetness & Light: February small art exhibit in Exeter, NH. Full of heartwarming delights.
Sweetness & Light: small works
We are keeping things very light here for 2022.
And you are invited.
Yup..... We think you should see this exhibit ... because >>>> simply put, it will make you happy.
Sweetness & Light...
Things that are delicious. Things that are cute. Concepts that make your heart flip flop (in a good way).
Oh my goodness... and of course there are birds, and desserts, and flowers, and more.
We look forward to seeing you!
Tuesday thru Saturday, 11-5, we are open and the inspiration is overflowing.
Take a moment from your chilly winter day to soak up the goodness of community art. You will feel an instant "lightness' when you walk in the door. And....
you will leave very satisfied that you have done something good for your heart.
It was great to meet the artists that are exhibiting in this exhibit. Such wonderful work. Aaaaand it is always great to make new friends.
We have a closing reception on Saturday, February 26 from 2-4 and would love to see you.
Free parking on the street and in the LEFT drive REAR parking lot. (Sorry about the caps, but it gets a little confusing for those who have never been here.)
So many thanks to Deb Wheeler-Bean for the incredible installation of this exhibit. Thank you, Deb. We love you.
From all of us at Art Up Front Street.

Happy Holidays! See you Tuesday & Wednesday 11-5.
You may have seen the lights at night.
Come in for a tour, a small break from your hurried day, a soft chair from which to take in the color. Replenish and relax .... we would love to see you!
Our artists have the walls filled with amazing works of all sizes...
Deb Wheeler-Bean assemblage and photography, Natalie Marquis paintings, cards, and art calendars, Ree Katrak's full abstract color ...plus hand made post cards, Josh Peterman's charcoal illustrations and figure works, Anne Kenny's "Industrial Quilts", and Rose Bryant's saturated color paintings and "tiny paintings". Artist in residence for December and January, Amy Tilton, has oil paintings and prints, and Shannon Hays, our December guest, is exploring her textured paper designs.
We are here Tuesday and Wednesday 11-5, then closed for the holiday.
Giving a gift of art is a wonderfully sincere gift that also supports local makers. Thank you for keeping us on your list....
Happy Holidays

Our fans are the best! Thank you all for coming to Art Up Front Street Open Studios.
Gratitude all around. What a wonderful 5th Anniversary Open Studios to celebrate. So many familiar faces that have been here since the beginning, so many friends and family of the artists, plus those who saw our segment on New Hampshire Chronicle. We wish we could have gotten photos of all of you!
It warms our hearts to reflect on the community we have here on Front Street. Thank you for being a part of it.
Enjoy a few of the photos from the two days. We hope you are still feeling the good energy... we know we are. Thank you again.
