The North Shore Arts Association is delighted to announce a solo exhibition by Dennis Poirier, on display in our Hallway Gallery from June 24 – July 6, 2023. A Gloucester native, Dennis learned to paint with John C. Terelak, Ted Goerschner, and Sal Grasso at the Gloucester Academy of Fine Arts in 1976, and later with Don Stone when he moved up to York County, Maine in 1982. He also studied in New York City at the Art Students League of New York with the great painter David A. Leffel and lived there in 1978 and 1979.  

The colors, sights, and sounds of Gloucester’s busy port and fishing fleet inspire Dennis’ work in this solo show. Please, join us for the opening reception on Saturday, June 24, from 1-3 PM to meet the artist and celebrate a career of incredible artwork. Admission is free and all are welcome!
