Each year, the NAA sponsors a Young & Budding Artists Show. The show is open to students in grade 1 through 12 in all media types. This popular show regularly showcases over 300 pieces with awards being given at each grade level, per media type. A generous award program is been made possible by individual and institutional donors. In 2021, the show will be held in late April/early May. More details coming soon!

NAA artist members support the ArtLink program by offering in school or after school workshops for students of all ages in collaboration with school art faculty.

Keep Art Accessible For All! Donate to NAA New Dawn Capital Campaign

In operation since 1948, the NAA is a corner-stone of the greater Newburyport vibrant arts scene with over 600 artists and members from around the region. Our mission includes art exhibitions, arts education, and community outreach, especially to students and adults with disabilities, to keep the arts accessible for all.

When the COVID-19 crisis forced us to close our doors from March to October, there was a void felt in both art and community. Thanks to the efforts of the NAA Board and our committed supporters, we re-opened to the public on November 6th with The Power of Art: Members Open Show, featuring stunning work by over 90 of our member artists.

As we approach the end of the year and the final weeks of our “NAA New Dawn” campaign, please consider making a donation to help us meet our $50,000 goal to cover operating expenses. With your generosity, we will be able to continue our vital work for many years to come. Thank you! To Donate, click Count Me In!
