Immerse yourself in a space where contemporary art meets vibrant cultural events.
The Gallery at Jimmy’s, once known as the Museum of New Art, has been transformed into a contemporary gallery and event space by the Labrie brothers, Peter and Michael. Their passion for music, arts, and culture has breathed new life into this 4,050 square-foot historic venue, located in the heart of downtown Portsmouth. With full-service catering and a versatile space that can accommodate groups of 24-200, The Gallery at Jimmy’s is the perfect setting for private events and art exhibitions.
