CONCORD – Tanya Cherepova, of Merrimack, will be among the featured juried artisans at the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’ exhibition, “A Child at Heart,” at its Gallery at The Craft Center and headquarters in the SMILE! building on 49 South Main St., Suite 100, in Concord.

The exhibition runs through April 13 and all the fine craft items are available for purchase so visitors can appreciate and purchase the work made by juried members of the League of N.H. Craftsmen. This multi-media exhibition features work that expresses the wonder and innocence of childhood, real or imagined.

The Gallery is open Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and Saturdays, during the exhibition, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

“This exhibition has given our juried members a wonderful opportunity to recapture the magic of childhood,” said Susie Lowe-Stockwell, executive director of the League of N.H. Craftsmen. “Visitors will find delight in the creativity and variety of fine craft in this exhibition. And all of the items are available for purchase.”

The League of N.H. Craftsmen is a nonprofit, craft education organization. Its mission is to encourage, nurture and promote the creation, use and preservation of fine contemporary and traditional craft through the inspiration and education of artists and the broader community. The League of N.H. Craftsmen is supported in part by a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. This exhibition is made possible with the support of The Lincoln Financial Foundation.

The Gallery has been made possible through the generosity of Concord Orthopaedics.
