Ellsworth Author Carl Little will present a slide show at Courthouse Gallery on Wednesday, August 10 at 6pm, on Art of Acadia, a newly released book by Carl Little and David Little, published by Down East Books. This beautiful book of American art history honors the region in celebration of Acadia. The event is being held in conjunction with 10/100 Painting Acadia, a group exhibition celebrating the Gallery’s tenth anniversary and the Acadia National Park centennial. The book will be available for purchase at the talk. The event is free and open to the public.
This beautiful book spans the seventeenth century through the twentyfirst, and includes a variety of work, from fine art to art that appeared in guidebooks, travelogues, and posters to its current Artist-in-Residence program. It is a view of the region that grants a new perspective to our collective appreciation of this unique convergence of land and sea.
