Marking Time – A Measure of Craft: An Exhibition Presented by Lights Out Gallery

The Carriage House 476 Main Street, Norway

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.

“Here is Magic” Mural Project at Waterfall Arts

Waterfall Arts 256 High Street, Belfast

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.

“HERE IS MAGIC” PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: Kirk Linder, Deborah Jellison, Christina Barstow, Allegra Kuhn, Elizabeth Moore, Sally Stanton, Marjorie Arnett, Liz Kalloch, Tara Morin, Victoria Barnes, Willy Reddick, Annadeene Fowler, Sam Maheu, Devon Kelley-Yurdin with Lilah Akin, Abbie Read, Heidi Reader, David Estey, Libby Sipe, Emily Sabino, Karen Jelenfy, MJ Viano Crowe, Nell Parker, Amy Lowry, Ruby Day, Julie Crane, Lesia Sochor, Paul Valentine, Ashley Megquier, Kelly Desrosiers, Barbara Sullivan, Stew Henderson, Peter Walls, and Amy Tingle. 256 High Street

There are bleachers set up, and refreshments will be provided for your comfort as you watch demonstrations. The glass pumpkin patch charms visitors of all ages!

Artsworth is considered an MCA HUB. Local artisans will share their work at the 25 Pine St. Warehouse—fine jewelry, prints, pottery, fiber art, and more! Everyone will be showing, selling, demonstrating, and discussing how they make their work.

Bookbinding Workshop with Diana Arcadipone at Fiber + Vine

Fiber & Vine 402 Main Street, Norway

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6 | 10AM-4PM

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
