The 2018 Members' Art Show continues through the month of May at the Northeast Harbor Library.

The exhibit showcases the many talents of our members and is not to be missed. You'll find landscapes, portraits, sculpture, carvings, and more. Check out this year's "space blanket"-themed arch and sculptures.

A huge THANK YOU to the Membership and Volunteers Committee for organizing a very successful and fun opening reception!

Members and guests are invited to explore the Penobscot Marine Museum in Searsport, followed by lunch at Young's Lobster Pound in Belfast. The museum celebrates the maritime culture of the  Penobscot Bay region. Plus, the museum is home to Maine's largest pinhole camera!

 

We have arranged for a docent-led tour of the museum and grounds, including eight buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and seasonal exhibits. We'll carpool from MDI and we'll have plenty of time at the museum and nearby Belfast. A chance to do something different before the summer rush on MDI!

Call or email to sign up by June 4th.
