Gallery Sitka announces an exhibition with the National Association of Women Artists, MA Chapter, called Art with Intention. The opening reception and celebration on Saturday, May 18, from 2 to 4pm is free and open to the public. Twelve artists with 24 original art pieces will participate in the show, and many of the artists will attend the reception.

Artwork includes multi and mixed mediums, such as varnish, pigment on wood panel, encaustic, fiber, acrylic, oils, watercolor on handmade paper, mono-print, and collage-print.

The Newport Gallery is located on the corner of Spring and Franklin Streets. The show will be displayed through June 13, 2024.

Jennifer Jean Okumura, exhibit organizer and president of the National Association of Women Artists, Inc. (NAWAMA), stated, “Art poses a question, and creativity is understanding the answer. Art enhances the story and the space we live in. Our Art, Our Story, restores the harmonious balance in times of much-needed healing, our new, continuous love, and the human spirit of hope, and the world comes to life — a jolt of energy, esse, community, and love.”

Tamar Russell Brown, managing owner of a 20-year, woman-owned and operated branding/social/webdev design studio in NYC, MA, and RI, Sitka Creations® LLC, stated, “Gallery Sitka is honored to support women in the arts. New England’s variety of amazing female artists continuously inspires our all-women team. We are thrilled to work with NAWAMA for a second year on a Spring show. We welcome the New England Chapter of NAWA to Newport.”
