Mid Coast Plein Air Painters featured at Salt Pond Studio 

Salt Pond Studio in Friendship presents its season opener, featuring seven artists from the group known as Mid Coast Plein Air Painters.

This loosely formed group of artists and friends paint together onsite regularly for inspiration, companionship and encouragement.

This year, seven artists have been chosen to represent the group in a smashing exhibition at Salt Pond Studio. Works by Christine Aston, Margaret Creighton, Mary Ann Heinzen, Molly Mugler, Art Schaefer, Karin Strong and Gwen Sylvester will be on board in the renovated one-room schoolhouse that is now the charming Salt Pond Studio at 522 Cushing Road, Friendship.

An opening celebration was held on May 28. The show runs through June 5.

Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
