A “Celebration” show is planned at River Arts, 36 Elm St. Plaza in Damariscotta. An opening reception is set for 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16. Meet many of the artists and enjoy a festive afternoon filled with art, conversation, light refreshments and holiday cheer.

The gallery is filled with fine art and fine craft created by Maine artists for the holiday season. This extravaganza features over a hundred artists displaying over 300 artworks. “Celebration” encourages gallery patrons to shop locally for affordable art for the holiday season which in turn supports Maine artists.

From classical to the whimsical, the show includes oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, mixed media and alcohol ink paintings. Fine craft, fiber arts, textiles, ceramics, sculpture, collage, wood, photography, jewelry, glass and assemblages round out the offerings. The sho runs from Nov. 12 through Dec. 30.

River Arts is a non-profit organization supporting creative artists in Maine through exhibitions and educational opportunities. Your continued patronage allows River Arts to further the mission of supporting the arts in our community.

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