Mid Coast Legacies in Art includes over 30 works (2D and 3D) by well-known local artists and the generations of their creative families. Curator Pam Cabañas will give a talk and tour of the show at 3:30pm.

 

“Pam has been our curator for years, and each beautiful exhibition has focused on local talent from our region,” confirmed Mary Eads, Executive Director at Bartlett Woods. “This show is particularly meaningful, as it focuses on families of artists living and working nearby, many of whom are icons of Maine Contemporary Art. We hope First Friday fans will start their afternoon with us, enjoy Pam’s talk, savor some refreshments, and appreciate an intimate view of life and art, Midcoast style.”
