‘Painters of Maine’ open house and artist talk at Turtle Gallery

“Painters of Maine” will be on view at Turtle Gallery from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1. Work by Mary Barnes, Galen Davis, Sheep Jones, Paul Trowbridge, Adele Ursone and other painters who live and find inspiration for their work in Maine will be showcased.

An open house will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Aug. 2, with artist talks beginning at 2:30 p.m. Enjoy conversation with stalwart gallery artists, as well as some new faces, and take in the barn and sculpture gardens with some light refreshments.

As in the past, Turtle Gallery will contribute a portion of sales to a local nonprofit. This year, funds raised will go to Project Launch, which supports local students and their families to make a successful transition from high school to meaningful post-secondary learning and opportunities.

Turtle Gallery resides in an 1876 two-story barn and outdoor sculpture garden located at 61 N. Deer Isle Road in Deer Isle. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday from May 30 to Oct. 7. For more information, visit turtlegallery.com, or call 207-348-9977.
