— Without art, how would we process our lives?

Join us in the Main Gallery at 3S Artspace for a reception featuring artworks by youths and adults of the Greater Portsmouth Youth Wellness Coalition, in tandem with artist Peter Bruun's works in Each Has Their Grief, currently on exhibit. Bruun's paintings and drawings explore grief in the wake of the death of his daughter from an overdose.
