(Image: "Pele's Fire" by Ann Tracy) (Portland, ME) If you’ve been to a few of Portland’s First Friday Artwalks and think you have seen just about everyone’s studio, there is an event coming to Monument Square that you don’t want to miss. The first ever New Faces Outdoor Art Exhibit will feature New England artists who are not known to the gallery hopping public. On Saturday, August 27th from noon to 5:00 pm, a diverse group of artists will set up shop with tables and easels in Monument Square in downtown Portland. For many of these artists this will be their first time exhibiting in public and for others, while they’ve had exhibition experience, this will be their first time to show their work in Portland. This one-day show is the brainchild of Evan T. Gilbert, a Nobleboro, Maine artist. Gilbert and his sister Jessica, also an artist, are raising the funds for this event themselves through a variety of sources including bake sales, IndieGoGo on line donations and sponsorships. Gilbert is a graduate of Lincoln Academy. He promises the work will run the gamut from traditional to digital media Participating artists include Ann Tracy, who has returned to her native New England from a 25+ year sojourn in the west; Emily Hefferon; Michael Farley; Adam Jacob Cram; Jessica Lauren Lipton; Rachel Helen Alexandrou; Joyce Wong; Aura Ever; Michael Farley; Mya Blue Elliot; and Adam Drisko.
