NEWPORT, New Hampshire— A new art gallery housed in a refurbished mill in southern New Hampshire is currently hosting its inaugural exhibition, “H2O: Film on Water,” a show whose theme will concentrate on the ever-relevant topic of, what else, the world’s water.

The Newport Mill was reinvented to serve its new purpose by ownerWilliam B. Ruger, who previously rented the space out to light manufacturing concerns. Much like the nearby Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, the space pays homage to the area’s industrial and economic history, as does its first exhibition, as water was a critical aspect of old mill towns.

Curated by Cynthia Reeves, who owns an eponymous gallery in Manhattan and serves as director of the Great Rivers Art Institute in Vermont, the video-focused exhibition will include paintings, photographs, and more.
