I also wanted to post information about another wonderful Maine Artist. She mainly does New England landscape watercolors. You can see her artwork in person by visiting the Sea Rose Gallery at 325 Long Beach Ave in York Beach, Maine.

David,
The Maine Art Scene had a call for Fine Art Photography submissions open to any Maine artist complete with guidelines. It is my understanding that many more exhibits are on the horizon in all the arts so keep watching and when you see your opportunity, go for it!!! These folks are just awesome!!!!

I love the exhibit and am thrilled with all of the great photographic vision and talent found in our state. I was curious as to how one might go about entering an upcoming exhibit or show. This looks like an excellent collection of artists whom I'd love to be a part of in the future.

The photography show looks fantastic! I think it's an interesting idea to mix young and mature artists. I think it's says a lot about what Fine Art Photography means for various people. Thank you for the unique perspective. Bob.

I just viewed the New Online Photography Exhibit and it is just spectacular! What a great job by you; Maine Art Scene, CellarDoor Vineyards as sponsor and all the Artists! It is great to be a part of such an exciting event. I found so many new artists to put on my 'to inquire' list that I might never have found but for the this Exhibit. Thank you!

Thank you Maine Art Scene for bringing such a great forum to Maine. I found My College Professor and Mentor Michael Lewis' Painting Exhibit listed here and thought that I would take this opportunity to also thank him publicly for putting so much of himself in his teachings and for caring. This UMaine Grad is honored to have been taught by such a phenomenal Painter and fine Educator.

This is my second posting. Just thought I would share the following art news with all of you. I received the Bay Chamber Concerts' flyer in the mail. They are really trying to make concerts affordable and for this upcoming season most tickets are just $20!

Hello Maine Art Scene. Just got your e-mail. We look forward to participating to Maine's first non-juried online fine art photographers exhibit! You guys rock.
I've spent many summers near Rockland and visited the Farnsworth Museum for the very first time last week! I spent about three hours touring the various buildings and loved the various exhibits. A must see in the area.

I'm particularly fond of your Maine Artist Profile Series (interviews and accompanying slide shows). I enjoyed learning more about the last two artists you selected. I would love to see other types of work as well. Perhaps a series on Maine photographers? Nice website. Beth.

Great website! I would like to let you know about a very interesting and somewhat new museum in Portland called The Museum of African Culture. The website is www.africantribalartmuseum.org. The only New England Museum devoted to African Arts and Culture. 1,500 pieces in the collection. Thank you.

What a fine publication! I love the fact that you are the only publication I've seen attempting to consolidate art news from all over Maine. By doing so, you are truly giving our art community a stronger national presence. Thank you.
