The 73rd annual Greeley Park Art Show, hosted by the Nashua Area Artists Association, will take place August 29-30, 2026, at Greeley Park in Nashua, New Hampshire. The two-day outdoor juried show is open to artists 18 and older working in 2D and 3D media, with an early registration deadline of May 30. New features this year include options for one- or two-day participation, tent sharing, tent rentals, senior discounts, and expanded entertainment. Awards will be given in categories including 3D, acrylic, drawing, mixed media, oil, pastel, photography, watercolor, digital art, Best in Show, and Viewer’s Choice. The show is free and open to the public, drawing thousands of visitors from New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
This event matters because it is a longstanding community tradition—running since 1953—that supports local and regional visual artists, fosters public engagement with the arts, and is funded in part by the Nashua Arts Commission. The show also highlights the Nashua Area Artists Association’s broader mission of art education and exhibition, including its new ArtHub Gallery in downtown Nashua, which opened in May 2025. For local artists and residents, the Greeley Park Art Show represents a key platform for exposure, sales, and community connection in the Nashua area.
