YAA is proud to host a group show featuring textiles, paintings, and other work created by library staff. The reception will be April 27 from 4-6:00 in the 2nd floor gallery space at the library.
The one-day festival will feature two attendance windows (10:00 – 1:30 and 1:30 – 4). Attendees will be able to taste the natural wines and talk with representatives from natural wine producers and importers.
The concept of natural wine aligns with the mission of understanding where our food and beverage comes from, and how to produce products in more responsible ways. This is a unique opportunity to meet and talk with the people who have shaped that movement in America, learning from them first hand, while tasting delicious and very special wines!

Join Kathie Pratt and work in clay to create a nature-themed bas relief that you’ll be able to complete and take home that day.
Artists create a bas-relief by sculpting onto a 2-D plane to create and accentuate figures and objects, producing a 3-D appearance. We’ll be using polymer clay and baking it off, then painting it. Then, students will be shaping them around glass jars to make a decorative container.
Class size is limited & registration is required.
K-12 Wiscasset public schools' art students get to showcase their art work alongside their art teachers' paintings in the historic Maine Art Gallery, which itself was once a school. The students' work offers both abstract and representational interpretations from their surroundings and life experience in Maine with exciting results, often bold in color and design. A show not to be missed
Maine artist Russ Cox presents new works that pull you in close, and then pull you even deeper.
Cox’s oil paintings evoke the sensory feeling associated with place, nature and experience. Works evolve from a process of applying layer upon layer with multiple glazes to create movement, translucency and depth. These works are deeply meditative, becoming more complex as they unfold.
Join us as we celebrate Russ Cox’s new works and step deeper into his visionary world.
A full catalog of works available. We are happy to arrange private showings and studio tours. All are welcome.
