I have frequented the Walsingham Gallery many times and have spoken to the artists at the gallery receptions that the owners present periodically. Some of the artists have said it is the best art gallery that they have shown their work in including New York. Many of the artists’ peices are juried by the Boston Guild and Copley. The Gallery itself is beautiful and serves as an important cultural addition to Newburyport and the North Shore. Art is such a rich expression of our lives and our culture. I am thrilled to have such a fine gallery in our area.
