Be sure to join us for the upcoming ArtWalk on Saturday, May 7th!
The next Newburyport ArtWalk is scheduled for Saturday, May 7th. Each ArtWalk is self-guided, free and open to the public. Galleries will be open generally 10-6 and showcase special exhibitions sometimes including artist demos... many within easy walking distance in our beautiful, historic downtown.
Begun by Sam Sargent, an ‘enthusiastic gathering’ of twenty launched what would become the Newburyport Art Association nearly 70 years ago and the artistic evolution of our community has expanded into the downtown being designated as a State Cultural District by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. In 2002, the Newburyport ArtWalk was formed.
Whether you’re a collector, an art lover, a student or an artist, there has never been a better time to celebrate the arts and its artistic heritage in Newburyport!
The free brochure/gallery guide can be picked up at any participating gallery, the Newburyport Chamber of Commerce, and the passageway by Valerie's Gallery connecting State and Inn Streets.

Harbor's Dream — photo-art-works by Olga Merrill at Sweethaven Gallery
MYSTIC VISION is a collection of photo-art works by Olga Merrill. She uses photography as a tool – like an instrument to make music or a brush for painting – to create an image of her vision, with a dreamy and indirect relationship to external reality.
“It's moody. It’s peaceful. It’s twilight. The fishermen have gone home. The lobsters are gone. Everything is gone. I think about boats as something alive. It’s their time for rest. Work is done. It's quiet. This sanctuary is for the boats, and it lets the fishermen head off to sanctuaries of their own.”

"Getting Close" – photo-art-work by Olga Merrill at Sweethaven Gallery
MYSTIC VISION is a collection of photo-art works by Olga Merrill. She uses photography as a tool – like an instrument to make music or a brush for painting – to create an image of her vision, with a dreamy and indirect relationship to external reality.
Getting Close is one of my painterly, mysterious artworks that encourages the audience to bring imagination. The words of Eleanor Roosevelt come to mind when I look at this work: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
3 sizes available - open edition print - archival pigment print on Epson Enhanced Matte paper.

"Golden Touch" by Olga Merrill at Sweethaven Gallery
MYSTIC VISION is a collection of photo-art works by Olga Merrill. She uses photography as a tool – like an instrument to make music or a brush for painting – to create an image of her vision, with a dreamy and indirect relationship to external reality.
"Golden Touch" - 20x30 image on 24x34 sheet - open edition print - archival pigment print on Canson Infinity Rag Photographique paper.
Also available in additional sizes. Please contact the gallery for details.
"It has been more than eight years since I first set foot in Maine, just before a magical Christmas. Harpswell, where I made "Golden Touch" was one of the first places where I started to know Maine: fresh cold water, salty smells and the light reflecting on the water touched me and brought back childhood memories. This place still is one of my spots for contemplation. I love escaping to the rocky shore, watching the sunset while listening to the sounds of waves as the day goes into night, into dreams".

MYSTIC VISION – Photography by Olga Merrill at Sweethaven Gallery
Harbor's Secret
MYSTIC VISION is a collection of photo-art works by Olga Merrill. She uses photography as a tool – like an instrument to make music or a brush for painting – to create an image of her vision, with a dreamy and indirect relationship to external reality.
Some images are essentially representative photography of the world around her that nevertheless dissolve into the wonder of abstract patterns, while others are complex manipulations of the ordinary visual world that use intentional camera movement, multiple exposures, and well planned color palettes to reflect her vision, dreams and feelings.
Merrill’s work has been part of group shows and festivals nationally and internationally, including NYC Center of Photography (USA) and Blank Wall Gallery, (Greece). YourDailyPhotograph.com just announced the selection of Brunswick, Maine artist Olga Merrill to the “YourDailyPhotograph.com Hot 100 of 2021” list for her photographic work, including her image "One and Many", which is part of her show, MYSTIC VISION. Merrill beat 4,500 artists from around the world to take home the prestigious honor.
This show will be on view December 1st through January 9th, 2022.
Opening reception December 4th, 1 - 5pm.
Light refreshments will be served.

IN MY TRAVELS – "One Blood" — Photography by Greg Nikas
One Blood — Jamaica
IN MY TRAVELS is a collection of photographs by Greg Nikas that puts a smile on his face and brings back fond memories of the trips he was on when they were taken.
“One Blood" was taken in Jamaica while on a stock shoot. Every city and town I went to had open markets that had displays like this, but only one had hats and belts displayed like this, and for me, that was the shot! Luckily, I had a board of tourism driver who took me anywhere I wanted to go plus places he said I just had to see. And because lunch was always on me, he took me to the best local places to eat where I rarely saw any tourists. It was a great week, and I can remember almost every minute of it.
Greg’s work can be viewed at: sweethavengallery.com.
ONLY 5 MORE DAYS!
This show will be on view through November 28th.
Sweethaven Gallery . 25 Inn Street – downtown Newburyport.
By the fountain down the stairs.
Gallery hours – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday from 12-5 and Saturday 10-5.
