Starry Night 2011

Thank you for making Starry Night such a big success! We hope to see you again soon!

This year, Starry Night returned on November 19 to the Discover Portsmouth Center with a ceramics exhibition by the Banks Gallery in Portsmouth and also featured a select group of jewelers showing their unique hand-crafted pieces, among them RAIN for the Sahel and Sahara, an international non-governmental organization that works with women artisans of the Sahel and Sahara to help them achieve economic self-sufficiency.

The evening also featured the savory Mediterranean appetizers of Café Nostimo in Portsmouth as well as a choice selection of Samuel Adams and Angry Orchard brews for tasting. Musical entertainment was provided by jazz duo Kemp Harris and Scotty Vercoe who brought their own spin on genre classics.
