Newburyport Art is excited to present the 2024 Members’ Winter Juried Show, on view in the NAA’s Sargent, Hills, and newly-renovated Hartson galleries. Out of a competitive pool of nearly 300 submissions, the exhibition features 124 artworks across a variety of mediums—painting, drawing, sculpture, design & fine craft, mixed media, photography, printmaking, and digital art.

The exhibition was juried by a special committee, comprised of artists Judy Miller Bailey, Rosalie Cuticchia, Susan Spellman, Tom Bailey, and Verne Orlosk. All have been long-time, active supporters of Newburyport Art, and they represent the NAA community well through a diversity of media and disciplines. Together, they bring immense depth and breadth from their artistic practices, with strong expertise and experience across art forms and subject matter. More information on each artist-juror is below, and Newburyport Art is pleased to host one work from each of them as part of a “Meet the Jurors” mini exhibition in the Mural Gallery.
