The KAA Board of Trustees extend a
HEARTY and
HEART-FELT
THANK YOU to
Morgan McCurdy, long time member and past KAA President, for her most recent service as our Administrator.
We wish her well in her new ventures!

The KAA Poets featured on our Spotlight Wall are a group who meet monthly led by Portsmouth Poet Laureate Emerita Kimberly Cloutier Green...and poetry is their art!
Other artists participating in this show have expanded their talents to include a haiku, a few lyrics from a piece of music, or maybe a tiny but treasured verse from a favorite piece of literature to their art work.
If you love poetry as well as visual art, then this is the exhibit for YOU!
ARTISTS: Art Work Pick Up is Monday, May 7th, 4-6 PM

Monotype Printmaking Demo at KAA
Thursday, April 26, 2018, 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM Cost: Member $10. Non-Member $15
You're sure to be impressed by this spectacular Printmaking Demo with
Annick Bouvron-Gromek taking place at KAA from 6:30 to 8:30 PM on Thursday, April 26th!
Monotyping is an intriguing hybrid among printing techniques. It's neither a print nor a painting, but a unique combination of both.

Annick in her studio
|
|
Annick is a member of the Seacoast Artists Association and the New Hampshire Art Association and has won numerous awards for both monotypes and watercolors.
You can view her work at the SAA Gallery at 130 Water Street, Exeter, N.H., or online at
