On display at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery is a collection of artworks by 12 artists who call themselves Earth Tones, a group dedicated to using art as a tool for environmental advocacy. Led by New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA) Member Pete Weissbrod, the group’s inaugural exhibition titled “Reclaimed, Renewed, Redeemed” will be on view in September, one year from the group’s first meeting. Using marine debris collected from Blue Ocean Society beach cleanups in New Hampshire and Southern Maine, the artists used ropes, plastic of all colors, and wave-battered lobster traps abandoned and beyond repair (the artists took a crash course in marine law before using this art material).

Earth Tones “Reclaimed, Renewed, Redeemed” will run at NHAA’s headquarters, the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery, located at 136 State Street in Portsmouth from September 2nd to 27th. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 11 am to 5 pm, Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 6 pm, and Sunday from 12 pm to 5 pm. The opening reception will be held on September 4th from 5 pm to 8 pm as part of Portsmouth’s Art ‘Round Town Art Walk. Visit nhartassociation.org or call 603-431-4230 for more information.
