Hello! My name is Alexandra de Groen and I am a senior at Portsmouth High School. For my senior project, I am hosting an ocean themed art exhibition. I was hoping I could host it at the Portsmouth Library. This is very important to me due to love of the ocean and I will be attending college in the fall for Art History/Museum Curation. Art work would be included from my fellow students along with members of the Portsmouth Community. Please feel free to contact me and come see some lovely art. Thank You!
