For the third consecutive year, the New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) proudly presents Fledgling: Artists Under 30, an exhibition dedicated to uplifting emerging talent. As part of NHAA’s ongoing commitment to fostering the next generation of artists, Fledgling has become a vital platform for young creatives to showcase their work and engage with the local arts community. Each year, the exhibition features artists from diverse backgrounds working across a variety of mediums, reflecting the energy and innovation of a new artistic wave.

NHAA invites art lovers to experience Atmosphere, a soaring new exhibition that explores the boundless nature of air, light, and emotion. Running alongside Fledgling: Artists Under 30, this exhibit celebrates the skills of those who have mastered their creative skies.

What does “atmosphere” mean? Is it the soft shimmer of light through clouds, the vast and endless expanse of space, or the charged energy of a fleeting moment? Whether evoking airy elegance, deep emotional resonance, or limitless heights, the artists in Atmosphere challenge viewers to look beyond and above, embracing the freedom of artistic flight.

Fledgling: Artists Under 30 and Atmosphere will be showcased at the Levy Gallery at 136 State St. Portsmouth, NH from March 7th to the 30th. The gallery will also host a networking event for young artists on March 20th from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Learn more on our website homepage. Fledgling is made possible thanks to support from the Rosemond Thaxter Foundation.
