WISCASSET — The Maine Art Gallery plans to reopens for the season on Friday, April 12, at 15 Warren St., with two concurrent shows that express the influence of artistic mentors.
The first floor of the gallery will be filled with the colorful and exuberant creations by Wiscasset’s K-12 students. Alongside this art will be work by their teachers, who will describe their artistic mentors.
The gallery’s second floor features an exhibition called Generations: The Legacy of Mentors. This exhibit includes art by MAG’s founding generations of artists — from the 1950s and ’60s — who influenced a younger group of artists whose work accompanies their mentors’ work. This show will be expanded in May to include a juried exhibit of MAG member artists who describe the influences on their work, according to a news release from Christine Hopf-Lovette with the gallery.
The gallery will be open three weekends in April: April 13 and 14, 20 and 21 and 27 and 28. An opening reception is planned for 5-7 p.m. on Friday, April 12.
First National Bank is sponsor for the K-12 Student Art Show, season sponsor is Sherri Dunbar of Tim Dunham Realty, and capital sponsor is Islebrook Village at Wiscasset, an Everbook Senior Living Community.
