Open House at Main Street Art Gallery – May 13th
The MWV Arts Association is pleased to open its gallery doors for an open house on Saturday, May 13th from noon to 4 pm. The current show titled April Love will run through the end of June. The open house will give visitors a chance to meet the artists, view the variety of fine art and crafts and enjoy some food, drink and lots of cheer.
For nearly a decade, Main Street Art Gallery has been showcasing artists from New England who are locally and nationally known, high quality fine artists and fine craftsmen, in a convenient North Conway Village location.
Among the resident artists for this show are Bill Fein, Maryellen Moran, Sarah Eastman, Barbara Perry, John Girouard, Lucy Merrow and Karen Lord, where you will see paintings in all mediums, subjects and style as well as photography, including many that have been creatively computer enhanced.
In the rest of the gallery are first time artists to the gallery Dot Seybold and Fabiana Walsh. Laura Guptill is displaying her jewelry as well as her acrylic paintings. Among local artists are Bruce Grubb, Laura Thomson, Jeri Swenson and Phyllis Tracy. Realistic artists include Don Onusseit, Jim O’Donnell, Martha Aucoin and Sharon Allen. Watercolorists include Barbara Perry, Rosemary Gerbutavich and Sandi Poor. Sarah Eastman is showing her pastels and collages. Ernie Hiscox, Eric Gillette and Julie L’heuruex round out our photographers. And check out the colorful expressive paintings of Jean Bradley – don’t let her black bear scare you! Our fine crafters include Barbara Anderson’s clayworks, Maria Testa’s silk scarves and Debony Thorne’s glasswork.
