Great news for members showing their work in our annual Exeter exhibition, in 2026 there will be a second venue in Jaffrey! Both shows will share same printed Catalog!
This year participating in the Exeter Exhibit also commits your work to the Jaffrey Exhibit. After drop off on January 6 your photos will not be available for pick up until the close of the Catching the Light Jaffrey Exhibit on April 18. At the discretion of the artist photographs that are sold in Exeter may be replaced with the same image, replaced with an alternate image or not replaced.

Deadline to apply is Dec. 1, 11:59 p.m.

Members with 2025 dues paid may submit two framed works. Frames should include picture wire of appropriate strength for the size and weight of the frame. No sawtooth hangers, please.
Make sure to label your work with your name and title on back of work.
The gallery will be open 12-4 p.m. on weekends. Gallery sitters will be needed. Sign up at drop off.
After the Exeter show, your work will be on display again in the popular Jaffrey Civic Center. Jaffrey, and the Monadnock Region in general, have a long history of inspiring and supporting writers and artists, and the Jaffrey Civic Center continues the tradition today. Thus, we have a wonderful opportunity for viewers in another corner of our state to enjoy our best photographic works. Our exhibition will be in the large Cunningham Gallery (handicapped accessible) and run from March 3-April 18. There will be an Opening Reception at the JCC from 5 to 7 p.m.on Saturday, March 7.
Between the shows NHCP will hold all the prints in storage at Concord, and then transport them to Jaffrey. Please note, to facilitate the second venue, at the closing of the Exeter show, we will need members to help protectively wrap the prints for transport and storage. Likewise, we will need volunteers to re-wrap the works for returning to Concord and final pick-up.
The Jaffrey Civic Center, is located on Rte 124 in the center of Jaffrey at 40 Main Street, jaffreyciviccenter.com
