The Friday Painters Group sponsored by the Mount Washington Arts Association customarily meets weekly during the winter and spring at the Gibson Center in North Conway. However, when the center closed due to the pandemic, the group also ceased its activities.
Its first summer plein air meeting will be on Friday, June 12, at the Chocorua Dam Park, starting at 9 a.m. Artists hope to be inspired by the sights and sounds of the waterfall and surroundings. If anyone would like to join us, they are most welcome.
