Specials and surprises lined up for the Wiscasset Art Walk
Artists, music, crafts and stunningly unique shops are all part of the July Art Walk in Wiscasset on Thursday, July 25, from 5 to 8 p.m. In addition to Wiscasset’s galleries (Wiscasset Bay Gallery, John Sideli Fine Art, Sylvan Gallery and Maine Art Gallery) a visitor to the Art Walk will find art in some surprising locations.
Mac’s Place on Main Street, Wiscasset’s newest coffee shop, becomes an art gallery for the evening with artist Kate Nordstrom’s sparse and beguiling architectural paintings on the walls, while twig artist Susy Perrine displays her twig structures and makes twig jewelry there.
The large communal table in Treats becomes the venue for the illustrations of local graphic designer Sean Closson, who will be drawing while visitors watch over his shoulder. Meanwhile, a wine tasting in Treats’ back room adds a lively dimension to art gazing.
While artist Robert Noreika paints in the front window of Sylvan Gallery, Danielle Paus’ Celtic harp will fill the air at Sideli Gallery and Jeff Grosser’s violin adds to the creative ambiance at Wiscasset Bay Gallery. Strolling musicians, Married with Chitlins and Friends will use the village sidewalks as their stage.
The public pier, visible from the Route 1 bridge, is another Wiscasset venue. The Craft Shack is featuring artist Kathleen Anderson while baker Judi Casella invites visitors to sample her (free) mini-whoopie pies. And peruse photographer Rick Scanlan’s display of photographs of local sights and landmarks.
And this is just the beginning . . . so much more awaits visitors during Wiscasset’s Art Walk. Look for the gold and blue balloons and village maps at each location.
The August and September Wiscasset Art Walks are scheduled for the last Thursday of the month. For more information about Wiscasset Art Walk, contact Ann Scanlan at 207-882-8290.
