Here's what's happening with the Main Street Art Team. Please check in from time to time to get the latest news with GMSP events we're involved in and stuff!
Art on the Walls is our partnership with Goffstown businesses, where we pair up the artwork of local artists with their wall spaces, be it waiting rooms, dining rooms, offices, etc. This is held three times a year (increasing to four in 2025), and there is no cost to join, just a commitment to keep the work up for the length of the session. Occasionally, pieces are sold. The sales are conducted directly between the buyer and the artist, we do not take a commission.
The Art on the Walls weeks for 2024 take place on:
-
March 25 - 29
-
June 24 - 28
-
November 18 - 22
Uncommon Art on the Common is the Art Team's main fundraising event, and a cherished tradition here. Taking place on the first Saturday each August, we typically feature nearly 50 very talented artists, crafters, and authors from all across the state (and occasionally a few over the border) within the quaint New England scape of Goffstown's Main Street. 2024 marks our 15th anniversary and it's shaping up to be a great show!

The Art Show-Off celebrates the artwork of our town's young artists. The Art Team partners up with teachers and parents of Preschool kids through High School Seniors to present a wonderful exhibit in our Town Hall from mid-October to the first week of December. There is a special opening reception that takes place during Main Street's famous Pumpkin Regatta. Our guests are invited to vote for their favorite pieces, and prizes are awarded to student artists in each of the age categories.
