The New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) presents 'On Paper,' a juried exhibition at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in Portsmouth, NH, running from July 1 to July 26, 2026. Curated by juror Lisa Barthelson, the show features works by emerging and established artists from across New England, all exploring paper as both a medium and material—including drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, artist books, and alternative photographic processes.
This exhibition matters because it repositions paper—often seen as a mere support—as a dynamic, transformative artistic medium. By showcasing the breadth of techniques and conceptual possibilities inherent in paper, 'On Paper' highlights the ongoing innovation within regional art communities and invites audiences to reconsider the creative potential of everyday materials.
