Bridgton Art in the Park is July 20

BRIDGTON — Shorey Park will be filled with paintings, jewelry, sculpture, stained glass, ceramics, wood works, photography, fiber art and more during the Saturday, July 20, Art in the Park show.
Art will be on display, and also available for purchase at the show, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is free to attend. It’s the 16th year the event has been put on by Gallery 301 and the Bridgton Art Guild.
Nonprofits, such as Deertrees Theatre and the Rufus Porter Museum, will also have booths, and food will be supplied by St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and the Swinging Bears group. Live music will be provided by several local singer-songwriters.
The Bridgton Art Guild will sell canvas bags with this year’s Art in the Park image by Janet Gill, as well as 2020 calendars filled with art by Gallery 302 artists. There will be raffles of two paintings, one to raise money for scholarships and one to help with a long-time member’s medical bills. If it rains on Saturday, the event will be held on Sunday, July 21.
Gallery 302 showcases work by more than 40 members of its arts cooperative. It also provides art classes and workshops in its Burr Chase Center for Education in the Arts, as well as putting on annual student shows, a camp show, exhibits by guest artists, special programs about the arts and a biennial art auction, which will be on Aug. 2.
