If you would like to join any of these groups, or start a new group, please contact us.

Painting

Led by Joe Flaherty

The group provides a welcoming atmosphere in which to share ideas, discuss creative thought processes and learn from others. Meetings will be held at The Art Center in Dover, NH.

Class meets the 3rd Sunday of the month.

Photography

Led by Claudia Rippee and Gary Samson

This group is an informal gathering of artists who all share a love of photography. Photographers of all skill levels are welcome. Discussion topics are driven by group participants and range from artistic vision to techniques, to image processing, to what’s new in photography equipment.  Participants are invited to show samples of their work and get helpful feedback.

For 2024 the group will be meeting on the 4th Saturday of each month at the Kimball Jenkins School of Art in downtown Concord, NH.
