Newton Art Association is proud to exhibit the 2025 Newton Art Association’s Annual Awards Show. Each year, NAA membership (250+ members) is offered a non-juried show for the first 40 members who enter. This show represents a broad spectrum of talent from local artists of all levels and represents a variety of two-dimensional and small three-dimensional media.

There will be an Awards Presentation on Monday, September 15, from 6-7:30pm, where the NAA will present several named awards and winner placement awards.

The Juror for this exhibit is Katherine Downey Miller. Katherine received her BS in Painting from Skidmore College and her MFA in Illustration as Visual Essay, from the School of Arts, NY. She is also a graduate of the Studio Arts College International (SACI), Florence, Italy. Katherine has been exhibiting for many years. She is a professional fine artist educator with over 20 years of teaching experience. Although trained in Illustration, Katherine has always been a painter, moving between the worlds of representation and abstraction.

About Newton Art Association: The Newton Art Association seeks to encourage the appreciation and expression of fine arts to its membership and the Newton community. It is an organization of over 250 active artists and art enthusiasts, representing all branches of the visual arts, from drawing to sculpture. The majority of members live in Newton, nearby cities, and elsewhere in New England. The NAA was founded in 1949 by the late James King Bonnar and a small group of artists who felt that artists needed the support of each other to share ideas, techniques, and opportunities to paint together.

Newton Art Association is committed to maintaining an environment that nourishes respect for the dignity of each member. NAA will proactively seek to achieve diversity and cultural equity in its leadership, partnerships, and programs.
