Resonance opens in the Gallery
Join us in the gallery for “Resonance” celebrating Maine, now on display through June 30. Resonance has the quality of being deep, full and reverberating and we hope this show has those qualities for the viewers as the works engage the audience in their love of Maine. The gallery shares work of 4 local artists using acrylic, wool,
ceramic, collagraph print, and cotton as their media. Enjoy these depictions of Maine’s coastal elements with varied works on display.
Join us in the gallery from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, May 3 to meet the artists and share good food, drink, and conversations! Browse ceramic fish heads, original
textile art landscapes, collagraphs, paintings, wool landscapes and more.
The featured artists Kathleen Buchanan, Terry Golson, Michelle Leclerc, and Catherine Worthington.
