SUMMARY:Newburyport Art presents the 2026 OpArt Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Newburyport Art (NAA) presents the 2026 OpArt Exhibit\, on view from April 1st through April 25th. This exhibit features over 90 art pieces by artists from Opportunity Works\, as well as a series of portraits of the OpArt artists created by John Douglass. \nThe OpArt program founded in 2004 is a partnership between the Newburyport Art Association and Opportunity Works with a mission to encourage and support individuals with disabilities to fulfill their life ambitions through the creative process. OpArt is dedicated to empowering people with disabilities to enrich their lives through visionary expression and artistic practice by providing instruction in a variety of mediums and techniques. Artists are encouraged to work freely and experiment across different media (paint pastels\, collage\, drawing\, sculpture\, etc.) to produce artwork centered on a theme or their imagination. \nOn view alongside this exhibit are 36 portraits of OpArt artists created by John Douglass.\nJohn became an OpArt volunteer after meeting several artists during the 2025 OpArt Show at Newburyport Art. John writes that “At first I thought I’d paint just a few portraits\, for practice. At a class\, I showed one student his portrait\, and the idea of including it in this show came up. The student was so excited about that possibility-I knew then I needed to paint them all.” In the end\, John painted 36 portraits (and one opossum) over a five-month period-getting more practice than he intended. The OpArt team of volunteers hopes visitors enjoy the artwork and John’s portraits\, and recognize as we do\, the joy these gifted artists bring to our community. \nAn Artist Reception & Celebration will be held on Thursday\, April 9th from 11:00am to 1:00pm. The reception is free and open to the public\, with light refreshments being served. \nNEW Gallery Hours: Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00am–5:00pm. The NAA is handicap accessible. More information\, and an online gallery is available at newburyportart.org.

SUMMARY:Emerging Perspectives\, Works by Artists 18-30
DESCRIPTION:‘Emerging Perspectives’ is a juried exhibition illuminating the vital and evolving voices of the region’s next generation of artists. This showcase serves as a bridge between the storied traditions of America’s oldest continuously operating art colony and the imaginative inquiries of creators aged 18 to 30. \nSelected by the RNAC Exhibitions Committee\, the exhibition presents a focused collection of work that captures a moment of professional becoming. Spanning a wide range of media\, the collection reflects a deep commitment to personal exploration and the pursuit of a distinct visual language. By facilitating a dialogue between these rising artists and the established creative lineage of Gloucester\, the Rocky Neck Art Colony continues its 150-year legacy of fostering the future of the arts. \n‘Emerging Perspectives’ is an invitation to witness the initial professional steps of those who will shape our cultural landscape. It offers a rare glimpse into the burgeoning careers of artists as they transition their practice into the public sphere. We invite the community to observe this growth and support the creative spirit that defines our region. \nThe public is invited to celebrate these new perspectives at the Opening Reception on Sunday\, April 12\, 2026\, from 4-6:00pm. Join Rocky Neck Art Colony and the artists to experience the collection\, meet the artists\, and enjoy an afternoon of refreshments and lively conversation. \nGallery Hours: Friday – Sunday\, 12-5pm \nArtwork by: (clockwise) Ben Laird\, Blocks; Ethan LeJeune\, Standing Stones; Rory Kenney\, Be There; Tia Camire\, Prey

SUMMARY:Newburyport Art presents the 2026 OpArt Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Newburyport Art (NAA) presents the 2026 OpArt Exhibit\, on view from April 1st through April 25th. This exhibit features over 90 art pieces by artists from Opportunity Works\, as well as a series of portraits of the OpArt artists created by John Douglass. \nThe OpArt program founded in 2004 is a partnership between the Newburyport Art Association and Opportunity Works with a mission to encourage and support individuals with disabilities to fulfill their life ambitions through the creative process. OpArt is dedicated to empowering people with disabilities to enrich their lives through visionary expression and artistic practice by providing instruction in a variety of mediums and techniques. Artists are encouraged to work freely and experiment across different media (paint pastels\, collage\, drawing\, sculpture\, etc.) to produce artwork centered on a theme or their imagination. \nOn view alongside this exhibit are 36 portraits of OpArt artists created by John Douglass.\nJohn became an OpArt volunteer after meeting several artists during the 2025 OpArt Show at Newburyport Art. John writes that “At first I thought I’d paint just a few portraits\, for practice. At a class\, I showed one student his portrait\, and the idea of including it in this show came up. The student was so excited about that possibility-I knew then I needed to paint them all.” In the end\, John painted 36 portraits (and one opossum) over a five-month period-getting more practice than he intended. The OpArt team of volunteers hopes visitors enjoy the artwork and John’s portraits\, and recognize as we do\, the joy these gifted artists bring to our community. \nAn Artist Reception & Celebration will be held on Thursday\, April 9th from 11:00am to 1:00pm. The reception is free and open to the public\, with light refreshments being served. \nNEW Gallery Hours: Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00am–5:00pm. The NAA is handicap accessible. More information\, and an online gallery is available at newburyportart.org.

SUMMARY:Cantus
DESCRIPTION:Now in its 30th anniversary season\, Cantus is acclaimed for its signature warmth\, rich blend\, and inventive programs spanning music from the Renaissance to today. One of the nation’s few full-time vocal ensembles\, Cantus performs without a conductor\, creating collaborative\, emotionally resonant performances praised for their “exalting finesse” and “spontaneous grace” (The Washington Post). The ensemble tours widely\, records prolifically\, and remains deeply committed to education and the creation of new works for low voices. \n“Exquisite” –The Philadelphia Inquirer \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nNow celebrating its 30th anniversary season\, the “engaging” (New Yorker) low-voice ensemble Cantus is acclaimed for its trademark warmth\, impeccable blend\, and bold\, thoughtful programming. Known for riveting performances that span the Renaissance to the 21st century\, Cantus has been praised by The Washington Post for its “exalting finesse” and “expressive power.” \nAs one of the nation’s only full-time vocal ensembles\, Cantus is defined by its unique collaborative process. Performing without a conductor\, its members rehearse and create as chamber musicians\, shaping programs that reflect shared human experiences. The Star Tribune notes\, “The hallmark of the Cantus sound has always been sheer quality and an unbroken belief in the special way vocal music warms and invigorates the human spirit.” \nBased in Minneapolis–St. Paul\, Cantus maintains a robust touring schedule\, with appearances at Lincoln Center\, Kennedy Center\, San Francisco Performances\, Tanglewood\, and Bravo! Vail. Its pandemic-inspired digital concerts now reach audiences in all 50 states and 16 countries. \nCantus records for Signum Classics (UK)\, with releases including Manifesto\, Into the Light\, and The COVID-19 Sessions\, and maintains a substantial self-released catalog. Devoted to expanding repertoire for low voices\, Cantus commissions new works and revives overlooked gems. The ensemble has received grants from New Music USA\, NEA\, Chorus America\, and others\, and in 2023\, received Chorus America’s Alice Parker Fund Award for its authentic programming of Black and Latinx traditions. \nCantus collaborates regularly with leading artists and organizations including the Minnesota Orchestra\, Boston Pops\, Canadian Brass\, Chanticleer\, and Sweet Honey in the Rock. The ensemble appears frequently on public radio and SiriusXM. \nEducation is central to Cantus’ mission. Through masterclasses\, residencies\, and its award-winning high school programs\, Cantus reaches over 5\,000 students annually. Its new High School Mentorship program and statewide tenor-bass festival deepen this impact\, alongside its Young and Emerging Composers Competition.
