“On the Inside Looking Out” selected for the New England Watercolor Society Spring into Art Show at the Plymouth Center for the Arts on view March 6 – May 6, 2026

| Sarah Connell Campbell

A sure sign that this interminable winter will end is the emergence of spring arts shows, and I’m happy to share that this bright watercolor + ink piece has been accepted to the New England Watercolor Society‘s Spring into Art exhibit.

The Plymouth Center for the Arts is a beautiful gallery space located in the heart of historic Plymouth, MA, just steps from Plymouth Rock and other early American history sites. Even on these raw spring days it’s a great day trip. The Center is home to the New England Watercolor Society, and always has a number of great exhibits on view.

The Center is open Wednesdays- Saturdays 10am – 4pm, and Sundays 1-4pm.

“Coastal Chaos” and “Then There’s the Wildness” on view now at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society Making Your Mark online Exhibit

The Rhode Island Watercolor Society warms up the winter months by hosting online juried shows and I’m so glad to be included in this exhibit, Making Your Mark. Mark making is the use of lines, dots or other patterns as part of creating an image. It can be cross hatching or strokes of paint or ink – for me, sometimes it’s a struggle to assure that the marks don’t overwhelm the composition. The process itself is so satisfying to me that sometimes I have to leave a piece for days or weeks and come back to it to see if it’s successful or work on it some more (or pitch it).

You can view the full exhibit at the link above or see it on Facebook.

Viewable until March 27, 2026.

Time to Get Out of the House! On Display Now Through March 26, 2026, at Concord Art: “Deconstructing Me.”

Concord Art’s Member Juried 2 show showcases multimedia work, and this is a really beautiful show with some extraordinary work. I am honored to be selected and hope that the lousy weather won’t keep you from making time to see it.

Located in the heart of Concord, MA, this gallery never disappoints, and there are lots of places to see, walk and eat nearby.

Opening this weekend: “Disillusion, Resolution, Evolution, Revolution” in the New England Watercolor Society’s Regional Juried Exhibition at the Mosesian Center for the Arts in Watertown, MA November 14, 2025 – January 19, 2026

PLEASE NOTE

My original post about this exhibit had the wrong date and time for the opening reception. It’s this Saturday, December 6, from 2-4pm.

I’m especially proud to be included in this New England Watercolor Society exhibition in this beautiful gallery space. Once again, I expected one of my more traditional paintings to make the cut on this show, and they surprised me by choosing this contemporary work. My hope is that the fuller context of this painting comes through – while much of my work has a whimsical quality to it, there are deeper messages in to be found for those who care to look. But the colors and shapes hold their own, I think.

The Exhibit will be at the Mosesian Center for the Arts, 321 Arsenal Street, Watertown, MA

Hours: Wednesday-Friday 12-6pm, weekends 12-4pm.

Reception and awards ceremony, Saturday, December 6, 2-4pm. Hope to see you there.

“A State of Perpetual Surprise” to appear in the Rhode Island Watercolor Society’s Juried Simply Watercolor Show, November 15-December 12, 2025

| Sarah Connell Campbell

I’m certainly glad the wonderful people at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society seem to understand my art, as evidenced by their acceptance of this whimsical piece. Sometimes I feel like my work is a bit of comic relief in an angsty and serious time and that’s perfectly fine with me – but the tiny figure in the window in this piece represents something important to me. I can’t presume to know what it might evoke in the viewer, but comments are encouraged.

Simply watercolor opens on November 15, with the opening reception on Saturday, November 22 at 1pm.

“Laughter in the Rain” accepted to the New England Watercolor Society’s Watercolor Gone Wild Exhibit at the Plymouth Center for the Arts, November 7, 2025 – January 14, 2026.

People of a certain age will see this title and laugh and then break into the Neil Sedaka song.

The New England Watercolor Society’s Watercolor Gone Wild exhibit at the Plymouth Center for the Arts celebrates the use of watercolor in art that is a little off the beaten path, which we know is right up my alley. This piece is a different take on one of my favorite subjects, lily pads. I’m pleased and honored that my work made it into this competitive show.

I got a sneak peek when I dropped off my piece yesterday and there’s some beautiful and innovative work in this show.

The Plymouth Center for the Arts is a beautiful gallery space located in the heart of historic Plymouth, MA, just steps from Plymouth Rock and other history sites. Even on a blustery November day, it was a great day trip for us when we dropped off the painting (which they hung while we were there – see above). Home of the New England Watercolor Society, the Center has many offerings and exhibits and is worth spending some time taking it all in.

The Plymouth Center for the Arts has gallery space specifically designated for Watercolor Society of New England works.

Dress warmly and take a walk down to the water.
