Callithump! is now appearing in a new location, ellO Gallery in Portsmouth, NH. ellO is a great gallery, and we’re really happy to be there. The Callithump! machine feels very at home there.
It’s really great to see a gallery like ellO in Portsmouth. In their words:

ellO gallery & shop is a mixture of a (commercial+affordable) contemporary art gallery, alternative exhibition space, retail space for individual artists selling handmade goods & moderately priced works & also an infopoint for the contemporary art community in Portsmouth and beyond.

It’s a refreshing treat to see a place like Ello. Most galleries in Northeastern seacoast tourist towns tend to cater to the tourists. They’re fine for when you need yet another landscape, sunset over the ocean or boat painting. You know, artwork that matches your couch and is totally devoid of anything interesting, controversial or unpleasant. At Ello you’ll find work by aspiring artists who aren’t necessarily part of the local art establishment. You’ll also find work that isn’t traditionally considered to be art, such as t-shirts, postcards and buttons. There’s lots to like at ellO. It’s nice to find a gallery that’s willing to sell work that’s affordable and fun in a town like Portsmouth, which has a reputation for being pretentious and expensive. ellO is providing opportunities for new artists to connect with new audiences. Callithump! is delighted to be hanging out in the corner there!
