Join Portsmouth Historical Society and the New Hampshire Art Association for the Awards Ceremony for Contemporary Currents on Friday, April 24, from 5:30–7 PM. This dynamic exhibition includes 41 works by New Hampshire artists inspired by the story of Betty and Barney Hill. Drawing on themes of alienation, the unknown, and the courage it takes to be believed, these works explore what it means to stand apart from the ordinary.

Enjoy an evening of art, conversation, and community. All works are available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting local artists, Portsmouth Historical Society, and the New Hampshire Art Association. Judges’ Awards will be announced at 6:15 pm, and all attendees can vote for their favorite artwork in the People’s Choice.

Thank you to the award sponsors: Puddle Dock Restaurant and Blick Art Materials.
