Art Galleries
We partner with local art organizations to hang new exhibits on our walls throughout the year. Our doors are always open to those who wish to view the latest art gallery on display. We help support local, emerging, and established artists through our gallery receptions and online exposure. Most work you see at NewTV is for sale, with pricing established by the individual artists. Supporting local artists is just one of the ways through which we connect with our community.

This annual New TV exhibit, organized by Newton Open Studios, includes photography, paintings and multimedia.

Coleman Rogers
"When I was a teenager, my dad gave me a camera--a 1950 Zeiss Ikoflex Twin Lens Reflex. I spent many hours in the darkroom, developing and printing images. I did not think of myself as an artist at that time; I enjoyed the process of measuring the light and developing and printing images.
