Pemaquid ... Saltwater Artists Gallery Opens for the Season

   Saltwater Artists Gallery on Pemaquid Point is now open for the 2017 Maine summer art season. Gallery members convened on the 13th of May for  our organizational meeting and to prepare the gallery for its Memorial Day opening... inside (shelves were dusted, floors vacuumed, windows washed, and pedestals set up)... and out (gutters cleaned, shrubs trimmed, gardens weeded, and new stones in the walkway). The following week we returned to the gallery to set up our display areas. It was great to see the new work of our returning artists and to get to know the work of our 6 new members.
