About
The Abstract Artists Group of New England (AAGNE) was founded in 2001 with a dual mission: to support, encourage and promote abstract and non-traditional artists; and to educate the public about their work. AAGNE was founded by a half dozen initial members, and has grown into a vibrant and lively community of over 70 artists drawn from all over New England. We operate independently, but under the umbrella of the Newburyport Art Association as one of its Featured Interest Groups.

Our artists have a variety of backgrounds, media, approaches and styles, and are brought together by a common interest: a fascination and passion for the abstract elements in all art, for Abstract art, and the art of abstraction in all its forms. Since it was formed, the group has grown from a half dozen initial members to the current roster of over 70 painters, sculptors, collage artists and textile artists representing all levels of experience and interest. Beginners are more than welcome, and will find many artists who are willing to offer critiques, and embrace beginning artists as they start their artistic journeys.

AAGNE presents several shows a year in the New England area featuring abstract and experimental art, and we have an annual show at the Newburyport Art Association (NAA). Our members are juried into local, regional, and national art associations. We meet monthly, and our meetings give artists a chance to share work, ideas, critiques and resources.
