NEWS | Events Happenings Exeter NH

A fresh 2000 sq.ft. space filled with large paintings, abstract art, illustration, collage and mesh & wire "industrial quilts".

Fine art for sale plus artist exhibits.

Our light-filled front gallery is a perfect spot to tour...or to sit and have a cup of tea while viewing art.

We look small from the front, but our building is a surprising 100 feet long.

Located in "Uptown" West Exeter near the railroad tracks, we love being in this walkable end of town.

120 Front Street Exeter NH 03833

Art Up Front Street is Exeter's first collective of working artists' studios.

We are painters, designers, assemblage artists, digital artists, and creatives.

A brief history:

Rose Bryant & Mal Argondizza purchased the building in September 2016.

After months of clean-out and studio walls construction, the first artists moved into studios during January 2017.

Many thanks to all of the contractors, neighbors, artists, and friend/volunteers who helped get us going. We will always be so grateful.
