Step Into A Story - Art by New England Illustrators

October, 2022 - March 6, 2023

Five talented New England Illustrators have come together to create this art exhibition at the Children's Museum of New Hampshire that celebrates the unique qualities of storybook art. Visit the Gallery to see Lisa Griffin's adorable characters and cute animals like puffins and baby tigers. See some of Sean Bixby's expressive characters from his book "The Uncrossable Canyon." Check out the eclectic work of author and illustrator AJ Smith, who recently visited the museum to read his latest book "Tea Time for Dinosaurs." Dive into Karel Hayes' art from her recent book "The Mystery of Lake Kanakondah." And take a closer look at an illustrator's process, from rough sketches, to book dummies, to the finished product with Vita Lane.

Gallery 6 is supported by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, Georgia-Pacific, TD Charitable Foundation and the Fuller Foundation.

Gallery 6 Mission

Gallery 6 exhibitions celebrate and promote the arts in New Hampshire and beyond. The gallery space is designed to blend into the Children's museum of New Hampshire Studio space where children's artwork hangs, connecting the playful creativity of children to the serious investigations of artists. Our high-caliber exhibitions are often based on a theme that has relevance to other Children's Museum of New Hampshire exhibits, that promotes creativity or is of particular interest to families.

The Children's Museum of New Hampshire schedules 4-6 exhibits a year and has these exhibitions planned many months in advance.

Gallery 6 is open during regular Children's Museum of New Hampshire hours and there is no charge to view the exhibit. (Those wishing to visit the rest of the Children's Museum of New Hampshire as well must pay regular admission.)
