“You will be very impressed by the caliber of works at the Kittery Art Association. Each show, which changes every month, tops the previous show....the art just keeps getting better and better! So much talent, a wonderful, light-filled space that invites you to take your time viewing the art. Each show has a theme so one should come to the gallery on a regular basis. You are sure to find a piece that speaks to you and look perfect in your home. The gift shop is perfect for picking up a last minute gift or to purchase a card. And then wander around the foreside for even more enjoyment.”
“We took the walking tour of Portsmouth with a fellow named Knut and he was terrific, had lots of stories to tell about the history back to the Algonquins up to today and everything in between. Highly recommend this tour, and recommend Knut if you can get him.”

“I never get tired of going into this gallery because there are so many beautiful, interesting and creative items to see. They have sublime fine crafts of all kinds -- jewelry, original paintings, prints, furnishings, glass, pottery, sculptures, clothing, etc. There's a sepia print of the HMS Bounty done by a local artist as a tribute to the famed ship that I was particularly enticed by. Also, the Portsmouth Upstairs Gallery is above the Barrett Gallery and has original fine art with an emphasis on nautical paintings.”
“I can't stand normal wedding rings or diamonds, so I got my beautifull Celtic wedding ring here a few YEARS ago. The clerk we had was kind and amazing, the recent store reviews make it seem like she's not there anymore. That's disappointing, but I recently got a matching Swarovski rose gold band that matches perfectly and wanted to say Thank you again!!”
“Elaine's craftsmanship is the best in the area and she is so patient with questions. She'll even make custom pieces. It's a wonderful shop to purchase something for yourself or a thoughtful gift for others.”
