Seawall Art Shows brings out a crowd

Portsmouth recently hosted the 38th annual Seawall Art Show on the scenic downtown waterfront. Ninety artists presented fine arts and crafts. Supported by the Portsmouth Museum and Fine Arts Commission and managed by community volunteers, the two-day event also included trolley tours, music and food. Proceeds supported the arts in Portsmouth and the Courthouse Galleries.
