Belleroche & the John Singer Sargent Connection
Two artists, a life-long friendship, eighty-five artworks, and one-hundred years later, Belleroche & the John Singer Sargent Connection is dedicated to sharing a private collection of a North Shore family alongside selected works from The Sargent House Museum’s Permanent Collection. On display under one roof, this extensive portrait exhibit is on display from July 11 through August 3, 2025, at the North Shore Arts Association. North Shore Arts will host a Gala to kick off this premiere exhibition and to celebrate the display of rarely-seen artworks on July 11th between 5 – 8 PM. Additional information and gala tickets available for purchase can be found on the North Shore Arts website. All are welcome!
Belleroche & the John Singer Sargent Connection explores the connection to a country adored by both Sargent and Belleroche and the portraiture for which they became renowned. Large- scale lithographs, portraits, and drawings of women—many of whom modeled for both artists— fill the North Shore Arts Association’s Gordon Grant Room, now transformed to evoke the dark and moody ambiance of a French street café.
North Shore Arts Association visiting hours are Tuesday–Saturday, 10AM–5PM and Sundays from 12–4PM.
Meet the artist: Anne Rearick
Join us for an evening with the renowned photographer, Anne Rearick. In the intimate setting of the Sargent House Museum, guests will have the opportunity to speak with Ms. Rearick and view her show, Arcadia. According to her website, “Anne Rearick’s humanist vision is documentary in nature, but also uniquely personal. In all of her work, Rearick endeavors to portray and celebrate the full range of day-to-day experience of her subjects. Rearick works over time, often photographing over the course of years, and in doing so creates lasting bonds with people and place. In many respects, Anne Rearick stands with her subjects instead of in front of them”.
We are fortunate to welcome Ms.Rearick to the Sargent House Museum and we hope you will take advantage of this unique opportunity to meet this highly regarded artist and enjoy her work.
Light Refreshments will be served. Please let us know that you will attend by sending an email to joan.mongeau@sargenthouse.org.

Emily Sargent and Her World
Emily Sargent, younger sister of famed American artist John Singer Sargent, was born to American parents in Rome in 1857. While Emily painted throughout her lifetime, she rarely exhibited. Much of her output was presumed lost after her death in 1936, but a cache of some 440 works was found in the attic of a Sargent family home more than 60 years after her death. The Sargent House Museum is one of five museums to receive Emily’s watercolors.
Admission to the gallery is $10; free for Members.
The gallery is open when the Museum is open; refer to days and times here.
