Penobscot Marine Museum, 5 Church St. in Searsport, is featuring a unique exhibit of vintage photos and contemporary art beginning Saturday.
The exhibit, “Maine: A Continuum of Place,” runs through Oct. 16. An opening reception for the show, with guest curator Carl Little, will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday. The public is invited to attend.
Little, author of “Paintings of Maine,” “Art of the Maine Islands” and other books, chose vintage photographs and postcards of coastal Maine from the museum’s collection and paired them with images of those places by contemporary Maine artists. The photographs, which will have been enlarged, and the artworks will be displayed side by side.
The exhibition features the work of 17 artists from across Maine including Joel Babb, Susan Lewis Baines, Nancy Morgan Barnes, Mary Bourke, Sam Cady, Alison Goodwin, Philip Frey, Liddy Hubbell, Tina Ingraham, Ben Lincoln, Jeff Loxterkamp, Caren-Marie Michel, Linda Norton, Winslow Myer, Karen Spitfire, Jude Valentine and David Vickery.
