2nd Friday ArtWalk: August 8 , 5-8pm

2nd Friday Art Walk features work by dozens of artists, all on view for your pleasure in downtown Brunswick & Topsham, from 5-8pm. 

Take the self-guided tour from VSA Arts Gallery on Park Row to Artifacts in Topsham. Enjoy the ritual of 2nd Friday summer evenings, including art exhibits, open studios, and performances across town.  The Second Friday Art Walk is presented by Five Rivers Arts Alliance with the support of Season Sponsor Waterfront Maine.

Receptions are offered at many sites. Stop by the opening night of Kat Logan Open Studio at 145 Maine Street, Brunswick, where encaustic paintings and watercolors of Maine landscapes and birds are on view.  At Fort Andross, the Coleman Burke Gallery opens the "There's No Such Thing As Panthers," a sculptural installation by a 4-person artists' collaborative.  Next door, Frontier unveils “Photovoice,” an exhibit by 200 men and women of China’s Yunnan Province who have photographed their daily lives.  Most had never seen a camera; some had never seen a photograph.

Look for “Monotypes” by Stephen B Johnson at Little Dog Coffee Shop.  See the “Dinner for 30” at Spindleworks where 30th anniversary garden party includes music and refreshments.   Pleasant Street exhibitions include “Under the Sun”, paintings and drawings in a variety of media by Harriet Lindemann at Points of View and "Influence of the Rising Sun," Japanese Textile Art by Kathy Goddu a couple doors down at Gallery Framing.
