The Discover Portsmouth Center in the heart of the historic seacoast town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The gallery is elegantly situated on the second floor of an historic building which once was the main library. It is well known for the high caliber of exhibitions displayed throughout the year. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance of the many visitors who come to the center. The gallery is open seven days a week from 10am until 5pm and is knowledgeably staffed.

All reasonable care will be taken for all work. However, neither The Pastel Society of New Hampshire nor Discover Portsmouth Center Gallery will be responsible for loss or damage to paintings. The entry form and payment for this exhibition constitutes an agreement with the above. We recommend artists carry their own insurance. PSNH reserves the right to exclude from exhibition any artwork deemed offensive.
