Join us on Friday, September 3, 6p.m., for an artist/curator talk by David Row regarding the curation of our current exhibition, Here & There.

Since the early 1800s, artists have been drawn to Maine for its rugged coastline, its mysterious, primeval-feeling forests, and its magnificent quality of light. Later, Modernists such as Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Max Weber, and Marguerite and William Zorach made their summer homes here, establishing a trend that continued, post-World War II, when Maine became an annual destination for New York artists seeking respite and rejuvenation from the grit and the fast-flashing pace of the city. This exhibition, featuring the work of 16 established New York-and-Maine artists, celebrates this long-standing and ongoing connection.
