Gallery 6 Art Exhibitions
Enjoy the works of local artists!
An Ocean of Quilts
January 5 – August 31, 2026
“An Ocean of Quilts”, a show featuring art by members of the Cocheco Quilters Guild, features over 20 small quilts that highlight the bright blue sea in different ways. This exhibit will help warm you up with thoughts of summer as you view quilted seahorses, turtles, mermaids, sailboats, and more. This show, like others in Gallery 6, includes interactive signage as a tool to help children look closely and carefully and discuss art together as a family.Â
Gallery 6 Mission
Gallery 6 exhibitions celebrate and promote professional artists in New Hampshire and beyond. We host 3–4 high-quality exhibitions each year; most include an interactive element, and they often have relevance to other CMNH exhibits or are of particular interest to families and children.
Gallery 6 is open during regular Children’s Museum of New Hampshire hours and can be enjoyed free of charge. (Those wishing to visit the rest of the museum must pay regular admission.)
Thank you the Fuller Foundation, Inc. for sponsoring Gallery 6.
