Newburyport Art: Members Spotlight Exhibit of George Darcy and Peggy Poppe

Newburyport, MA – Newburyport Art (NAA) presents Town and Tide, a collection of work by Massachusetts artists Peggy Poppe and George Darcy. This dual artist exhibition is the latest installment of the Member Spotlight Series in the NAA’s Mural Gallery–a new space encompassing the hallway and staircase from the first-floor Sargent gallery to the Hartson gallery on the second floor.

Peggy Poppe and George Darcy are members of the Watercolor Interest Group at NAA. They share a love of Watercolor and are excited to team up and share some of their work together. George has provided the scenes around “Town” – many right here in Newburyport – while Peggy has painted scenes in the tidal marshes and along the coast. Viewers can expect to see a collection of fourteen impressive watercolor paintings that highlight aspects of the familiar Newburyport landscape.

Town and Tide is on view through February 25th in the Mural Gallery. The exhibition is on view concurrently with the NAA’s Winter Juried Show, the gallery’s first juried exhibition of the New Year. Join Peggy and George for a Meet-and-Greet to celebrate their exhibition on February 19th from 3:00pm–5:00pm. Light refreshments will be provided and all artwork is for sale.

The galleries are free and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00am– 5:00pm and Sunday from 1:00pm–5:00pm. Newburyport Art is closed on Mondays. The ground-floor Hills Gallery has an accessible entrance. More information, as well as an online gallery is available at newburyportart.org.
