Monadnock Art https://monadnockart.org The landscape here seems to nourish creative energy.

We are preparing for Open Studio Art Tour 2026: October 10,11, &12 Join us this year for the quintessential fine art journey through the Monadnock Region. 65 studios featuring over 80 artists! Monadnock Art is a non-profit organization with a mission of celebrating the presence of the visual arts in the Monadnock Region of southwestern New Hampshire, from the artists who gathered in and near Dublin at the turn of the 19th century to the hundreds of artists who live and work throughout the region today. At the end of the 19th century artists were drawn to the area by its bracing scenery and the inspiration of Mount Monadnock. They cultivated a unique community centered on the arts, and today we strive to follow their example. In 2007, "Monadnock Art" was added to the original name to better communicate the range of programs and services for artists and those who appreciate the arts. It is unlikely the group of artists who worked in and near Dublin over one hundred years ago would be surprised to know the arts continue to thrive in the towns around Mount Monadnock. Over the years, Monadnock Art has produced and sponsored a variety of programs, notably the Annual Open Studio Art Tour in early October. On this weekend more than 50 artists in the towns around Mount Monadnock open their studios to the public. The Tour itself is free, and many artists offer work for sale specially priced for this event. Other programs have included a film series, lectures, special exhibitions, and video documentaries about artists associated with what is now referred to as the Dublin Art Colony, as well as an Educational Outreach project to connect artists with local school. Monadnock Art has contributed toward the purchase of paintings by Dublin artists for the permanent collections of the Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery and the Historical Society of Cheshire County in Keene. We will continue to update the web site to add information about our programs and services.

🔸 Artist Spotlight: Rhonda Zoch 🔸

For Monadnock Art member Rhonda Zoch, the wild places of New England have been a lifelong source of wonder, solace, and inspiration.

Growing up along the shore of Long Island Sound and spending her teenage years wandering the fields and forests of New England, Rhonda developed a connection to the natural world, one that continues to shape her work today. Clouds, prisms of light, forest floors, sand, flower petals, moth wings, lichen, and the shifting shimmer of water all find their way into her visual language.

Her vibrant colored paintings explore our connection to something larger than ourselves, from the ancient and primal to the spiritual, and offer a moment of meditative calm amid the noise and chaos of modern life. For Rhonda, painting is itself a spiritual practice: a way of looking closely, wondering deeply, and finding the extraordinary within the natural world around us.

Now sharing her time between the mountains and brooks of New Hampshire and the shores of New England, Rhonda invites us to explore deeper within the world around us. "My hope is that the viewer, when experiencing my work, is left with a reverent glimpse of the fringes of that world." — Rhonda Zoch
