River Arts plans to present its annual exhibition devoted to “Land & Sea,” an opening reception is set for 2-4 p.m. Saturday at the 36 Elm St. gallery in Damariscotta.

Artist Tom Ferrero juried this show drawing inspiration from coastal and inland landscapes.

Many of the contributing artists plan to be in the gallery to celebrate this show. Light refreshments will be provided for this afternoon of conversation and art.

A record breaking number of artists from all over Maine submitted works ranging from the quietest interpretations to the boldest interpretations of land and sea. This exhibition culminates in a dynamic representation of landscape at its finest. Artists have captured their personal connections to the natural world from Maine’s rugged coastline to its tranquil woodlands and beyond.

This show includes both abstract and realistic works in a variety of mediums including painting, photography, fiber, encaustic, sculpture, mixed media and pastel. “Land & Sea” runs through Aug. 10.

In conjunction with the opening of “Land & Sea” in the main gallery, a solo show of Phyllis Harper Loney’s work, “Painting Silk,” opens in the River Room. This show features Loney Harper’s exploration of fiber-reactive dyes on silks and other natural fabrics.

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
