A lively crowd of about 30 local business people turned out for the Maine Art Gallery’s Business After Hours event on Aug. 24.
While viewing artwork from the annual Members’ Show, they enjoyed Damariscotta River oysters on the half-shell and mixed with fellow Wiscasset business folks and MAG board members. At the end of the evening, door prize winners were announced: Pat Cloutier won a painting “Sunken Gardens,” donated by artist and MAG treasurer John Sawyer, and Michael Olyzienski won a gift certificate to Birch Home Furnishings and Gifts.
Over 100 works are represented in the show, including painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, assemblage, collage, photography, and digital imagery. “The approaches, technical skills and imagery are wide-ranging, which makes for a lively show,” said Mark Coates, exhibit chair. Artists were invited to submit two works for display.
