Join us on Friday January 20th from 5-7 in the CC ART Gallery. Come by and check out the Gallery, meet the Artists and their beautiful pieces of ART that have a magical winter theme. Maine is known for lots of snow and starry winter nights, with the sound of ice cracking on the rivers and ponds. These Artists have captured the essence of winter in this far northern part of the world. We are looking forward to seeing you on the big night.<br />
We are located in the Annex at The Chocolate Church ART Gallery. <br />
See you on Friday Night, the 20th of January.<br />
