The Kefauver Studio & Gallery in Damariscotta presents the “Monhegan Days” art show. This is the fourth show of the 2018 season at the gallery. The show opens on Friday, Sept. 14 and runs until Oct. 7. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Many of the guest artists will be present to meet visitors and discuss their work.
Monhegan Island has been a mecca for painters and photographers for over 100 years. The majesty of the plunging cliffs, crashing waves against the shore, and the quiet charm of the village roads have become icons in Maine art.
”Monhegan Days” features new work by oil painter Will Kefauver and the work of his 24 guest artists, and includes images of Monhegan Island’s gorgeous cottages, harbors, and natural beauty.
Six of the guest artists are new to the gallery with this show. They are oil painters Evelyn Dunphy, Mary Mabry, Joyce Smith, and Linda Wacholtz, and photographers Scott See and Deb Vendetti.
The returning guest artists are oil painters George Baker, Stephen Busch, Chris Essler, and Sally Loughridge; acrylic painters Dale Dapkins, Hannah Ineson, Polly McGrory, and DiTa Ondek; photographers Steve Dunn, Michael Fillyaw, Jennifer Hickey, and Ronn Orenstein; watercolorists Lydia Kaeyer, Jan Kilburn, and Kathy Lane; linocut artist Deborah Kozak; pastel artist Barbara Vanderbilt; and ink-on-Yupo artist Helen Warner.
Refreshments will be served at the reception, and there is free parking.
The Kefauver Studio & Gallery is located at 144 Bristol Road, Damariscotta, and is open from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily. Kefauver can be reached at 226-0974, will@kefauverstudio.com, or kefauverstudio.com.
