Hello Members, Donors and Friends!
First and foremost, thank you to
all who have renewed their memberships for the 2013 year. Your
commitment to PAG ensures that we continue to offer high quality
exhibitions, an engaging line up of classes and events.
Hopefully, everyone has had the opportunity to stop by and see
the “Town and Country” show–it’s an excellent show truly
reflective of the quality and creativity of our community of artists.
A big event is coming our
way on Tuesday, March 26! The board of
directors has lined up a fantastic group of speakers for our first
Members Meeting of the year. All speakers are key players in
the local and national art scene. Ever wonder how to market
yourself as an artist, how to brand your unique version of art?
Wondering about the current state of the art market in general?
This panel of active gallery owners and artists are here to help to
answer your questions!
Also, we are looking to fill our rental spaces (cases and
panels) with your, or a friends, art! All media welcome…more
details below.
Read through Guild Ink for further updates on our ongoing and
upcoming activities. I look forward to seeing you at the Guild!

In December, the

of having a more permanent set up.
If you have
upgraded your iPhone you may have just what we need not being used and
would greatly appreciate you considering donating your old iPhone to
the Portsmouth Arts Guild. We can help you remove all your
personal information from the iPhone.
