The Newburyport Art Association and the Firehouse Center for the Arts will co-present “Love is Love!,” a curated exhibit of 32 artworks that celebrates love in its many forms.
Featuring 30 artists working in acrylic, drawing, oil, pastel, photography, printmaking, and mixed media, this pop-up show takes place at the Institution for Savings Gallery at the Firehouse from Feb. 12 through March 28.
This artistic partnership between the NAA and the Firehouse Center for the Arts was inspired by a desire to collaboratively create a warm, welcoming, and vibrant arts experience that the public could visit safely through the cold days of February and March months made even more challenging this year by the continuing pandemic while activating the Firehouse lobby and Institution for Savings Gallery and providing additional exhibition space for NAA artists.
