The 10x10 show at the Meetinghouse Arts gallery in Freeport features work by over 20 gallery member artists in oil, acrylic, encaustic and mixed media. All work is original, 10"x10" in size and unframed. 3d art, cards, works on paper and small gift items will also be included in the show.
The show runs September 13-October 19 and is open 10:00-5:00 Wed-Sat and 12:00-4:00 on Sunday.
An exhibition that explores how traditional craft techniques and materials, developed over time and practice, influence and inform artistic expression. Craft has often been associated primarily with utility and decoration. This collection of work aims to challenge the delineations between form and function, decorative and expressive, practical and emotional.
Swing by our studio and check out the constantly growing Common Roots! Monthly featured artists that work in a VARIETY of mediums! We average around 18 artists in our gallery space with new pieces being swapped out by those artists weekly! Prices start at just $10 and up for local hand made pieces! Come check out our community driven art studio that has programs from a painted bus to teaching young artists how to develop their career as an artist!
Saturday & Sunday, all day: Visit Waterfall Arts to view the installation of a nw public art piece on the Waterfall Arts’ building is a way for the community arts center to offer something beautiful and thought-provoking to the public while highlighting our mission of connecting people with the power of art whether they choose to enter our building or not. The mural’s theme is a nod to Waterfall Arts’ long history of collaboration between artists and its foundational understanding of the innate value that the arts brings to a place. It will tell a story that links the exterior of the building to the ongoing activity on the interior, while bringing color and visual interest to the center.
Over thirty local artists are set to participate by completing individual reflective narratives on the theme of home. When joined together, these panels will form a whole; a creative placemaking that will highlight and celebrate the natural assets of Midcoast Maine. Waterfall Arts is an active home, a nest, an incubator for the fine arts, a hive of energy and inspiration for the entirety of the Midcoast and beyond.

Make your own handmade journal, sketchbook, or photo album with guest teacher, Diana Arcadipone. Handmade books make a wonderful gift, and are a great way to exhibit unique fabric or papers you’ve collected.
Please bring light to medium-weight fabric to use for your book cover. Fabric should be a natural fiber like silk, linen or cotton. Synthetic fabric like polyester will not work, so if you’re not sure, bring a couple of options with you. Your fabric will need to be big enough to cover your book in one piece, so somewhere around 12 x 24” will work.
All other materials will be provided, but feel free to bring additional papers, buttons, or a clasp to personalize your project.
There will be a short break for lunch during this class. Students should bring a bag lunch or plan to grab food nearby.
Registration is required. Register here: https://www.fiberandvine.com/classes/bookbinding-workshop
