NORWAY — The Western Maine Art Group and the McLaughlin Garden and Homestead will host an art show featuring plein air painters from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26.
Artists are invited to paint and the public is invited to watch artists working outdoors. The historic public garden and homestead are at 97 Main St., South Paris. The rain date is Sunday, Sept. 27.
Each artist will be enclosed in a six-foot radius of birdseed on the ground. This will be a reminder to garden visitors to maintain social distancing.
The art show will include displays of art for sale. A portion of sales will benefit the McLaughlin Garden. Artists who would like to participate, may contact Jinger Duryea, director of Main Street Gallery, in Norway, at jingerduryea7@gmail.com.
For more information, art classes, demonstrations sponsored by the WMAG, visit westernmaineartgroup.org and Main Street Gallery on Facebook. The galleries are free and open to the public.
