Art Up Front Street Studios & Gallery

Local working artists' studios and gallery. Original paintings, digital art, prints, landscapes, abstracts, jewelry, assemblage, watercolors and drawings. Very large work and very small. See the works of 8 artists plus take a peek through the doors to the artists' working studios. We are proud to be the first working artists' studio collective in Exeter's growing art scene. We have been featured on New Hampshire Chronicle, Creative Guts Podcast, New England art publications and in local newspapers. We are open on a regular basis to the public, offer opportunities for artist advancement, hold exhibitions, teach private lessons, host youth art month once a year, and have two huge open studios each year as well as organize individual artist exhibitions. We are easy to spot in Uptown Exeter (a rising arts and culture district). Look for the gray building with the yellow flowers. Come in, take a moment to absorb the energy.

This small local art gallery is a gem of southern NH. The events are always interesting and artists represented are varied and very talented! I've attended drawing sessions occasionally and find the energy and subjects terrific. A must visit if you are in the area.
