Katie Blair St John Art Show Opening
Katie Blair St John has spent every summer of her life in Small Point, breathing in the colors, composition and atmosphere. A great admirer of art from Italian Renaissance to Contemporary, she foolishly was intimidated from taking painting classes because other students appeared to already know what they were doing. Local painters, Frank and Phyllis Mason and Mary Ester MacFadyen became her inspiration. In the 50’s and 60’s she’d watch them pick up an old, wooden shingle and dash off a quick landscape while supposedly watching [...]

Lasell Family Art Show Opening
According to a history written about the Whitin machine works, the Lasells of Whitinsville were “warm-hearted, sensitive, artistic people, socially gracious and fond of good living.” Although the first two of these characteristics were not ideal qualifications for running a machinery business in central Massachusetts, that is what they did, until textile work went south in the middle of the last century.

Juliet Kirkham Art Show Opening
I am a self-taught artist, working out of my studio in Berkeley, California. I have always been drawn to watercolor, but learning to use this mercurial and mischievous medium is a recent exploration. I am constantly thrilled with the interplay between water and pigment and the individualistic and often erratic behaviors of watercolor paints. For me, painting is a practice not a perfect - a constant way to witness and delight in the everyday world around us. Artist work is exhibited throughout the week and [...]

This is a story of hard-won progress -- and today is a critical moment for the Kennebec's future.
Art – Elizabeth Wood
"My works from the last four years demonstrate my artistic development through college, and are an expression of a love for the mundane, inane, and whimsical. They exude humor, and are imbued with a directness that allows for no question of my focus, even if deeper intentions remain obscure. Through it all is a love for the act of creation."
