(Cushing, ME) The magnificent coast of midcoast Maine has always been an exciting location for plein air artists. This group of resident artists started painting together during COVID, when painting outdoors as a group was artistically satisfying as well as a great way to see others safely. The group has grown and continued to work together, finding locations to paint on a weekly basis in spring, summer and fall and weather permitting, in winter months.
There will be an opening celebration for the exhibition on Friday, September 11 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm; refreshments will be served. Additional exhibit hours are Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Since 2020, the group has held an annual exhibit of their work at a variety of locations. This year, the painters will be exhibiting at the Cushing Historical Society’s Arts in the Barn with a collection of their plein air work. The artists work in a variety of mediums and styles, never failing to create their own unique interpretation of each location.
