The New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) is presenting "Flesh & Framework," an exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Sarah Picard at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in Portsmouth, NH, from July 1 to 26, 2026. The show explores feminine identity, fragility, and the internalization of external beauty standards through works in oil, pastel, charcoal, and found materials, featuring an opening reception on July 3 and a "Meet the Artists" event on July 18.
The exhibition matters because it brings intimate, emotionally raw contemporary art to a local New England audience, continuing NHAA's mission to support regional artists. Picard's work, which has been shown at venues like the Fitchburg Art Museum and Aplomb Gallery, addresses universal themes of identity and self-perception, offering viewers a chance to engage with layered, confessional art in a small gallery setting.
