ART GIVEAWAYS this May 4+5!

Art Up Front Street in Exeter, NH is celebrating!

Enter for art GIVE-AWAYS this May 4+5.....

Founded in 2017, Art Up Front Street is an artist-owned-and-operated collective featuring works by nine Exeter area contemporary artists who are painters, designers, assemblage artists, and creatives.

In addition to making art in their working studio spaces, the artists exhibit and sell their work in our store-front gallery.

To say "thank you" to our friends and supporters, we are giving away 5 art gifts ranging in value from $5 to $250!

Each day during our annual OPEN STUDIOS, from 10am to 4pm, visitors can enter (no purchase necessary).

The drawing will be held at the end of the event. You do not need to be present to win!

Artwork to be given away:

By Ree Katrak, a framed, original mixed media abstract. 

By Rose Bryant, a folding art card, a small "flip book" of 25 art images, a pair of figure paintings created during a figure drawing night at the studio. 

By Corrine Gilman, a whimsical hand-stitched, hand-painted, fabric doll with a heart.

Our OPEN STUDIOS are May 4+5, Saturday + Sunday from 10-4 each day.

Our store-front street-side gallery with 9 studios consists of 2500 square feet of artspace.

Be on the look-out for some exciting give-away details.... coming soon. 5 pieces of art ranging from $5 to $250 .... really. Don't miss it!

SOLD... Anne Kenny "Industrial Quilt" at Art Up Front Street

We always love a "sold" sign... but more than that we love it when art speaks to people. There is so much about Anne's work that sparks intrigue to others.... her past in textile design, her love of the early history of the mills in New England, her use of unlikely materials (ask her about her collections!) and her up-cycled sometimes vintage computer circuitry. Yesterday, this lovely piece went to a new home. Thank you, "R", for stopping in. To read more about Anne, check out her website http://www.industrialquilts.com/

Art Up Front Street... We love Laura's Color

So fresh and summery... Artful Harper Studios (aka Laura Harper-Lake) is always experimenting in her studio. This little expression is so fluid and light. A collection of these small prints are in an "aquarium" in the front gallery. Perfect for a little gift card or "thank you".

SOLD at Art Up Front Street

Spring seems to be bringing out the color seekers. Today we had several visitors seeking art. So happy to say sold to good homes :-). Thank you to all who take a turn off the beaten path and got distracted by color. We love our "spot" on Front Street in Uptown Exeter, NH....

Art by Ree Katrak at Art Up Front Street

This day is the perfect day to show you more of Ree Katrak's work... a beautifully snowy day to enjoy soft playful color. As the snow falls, we take a moment to "pull in" and appreciate what surrounds us.
