All shows will feature a variety of mediums and a theme. We also will be featuring a live music presentation in the gallery on an evening during the third week of each show.
January 20th – March 3rd A Midwinters Night Dream
Inspiration: The snow is piled upon the ground and the moon is shining brightly in a star filled sky. Incandescent blue and purple shadows mark the snow in shapes of leafless trees. The quiet cracking of ice on the rivers, lakes and ponds, is a beautiful sound akin to the extra cold climate of this far northern region.
March 9th – April 21st Springtime Floriade
Inspiration: Presented when we are in the grips of late winter early spring, this will be a treat for all. Featuring Floral Paintings and Photographs of Flowers & Gardens. Oversized Vases will be placed upon pedestals in the center space.

August 3rd – September 15th Inside/Outside: Maine Home
Inspiration: The viewer will feel like a voyeur into the lives of some interesting and sometimes funky, often old but always interesting Maine homes.

The center space will feature the works of two local furniture makers.
September 21st – November 3rd Autumn Feast
