Dozens attended Friday night's opening reception of the Five Artist Invitational, which was held at the Portsmouth Arts Guild (PAG) on East Main Road.

This show was unique for the PAG and a first of its kind for the guild. This show premiered the winners of an invitation to artists, in which only PAG members were asked to submit a slideshow on a CD of their work.

The five artists were then chosen by a jury. A total of 26 entries were received.
