The group was featured in the July/August 2016 issue of Merrimack Valley Magazine

We would also like to thank the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, for inviting us to share in the festivities during “Summer Breeze,” their after-hours celebration of Childe Hassam’s Isles of Shoals paintings.

Painting in the Open Air…

The Newburyport Ten was an active group of plein air artists based on the picturesque Massachusetts North Shore. From the 1990s until 2023, they traveled, painted and exhibited as a group. Their numbers changed: at times as many as 12. Now time, age, and loss have reduced their numbers, and while several members are still active, this site is now a legacy site for these dedicated painters.
A sample of their paintings can be seen below. Click on a name or image for more information.
