BATH
On Friday, July 21, Pine Tree Society will open the doors of the 149 Front St. location as part of the Bath Art Walk to present “A Maine Retrospective: The Art of Pine Tree Society’s Holiday Cards.”
The hallways showcase more than 60 paintings which have been featured on Pine Tree Society’s holiday cards over the past 50 years. The paintings, showcasing a variety of mediums and styles, represent aspects of Maine in the winter — the coast and lighthouses, woods and fields, horse-drawn sleighs, quaint towns and churches.
At 6 p.m., the two paintings selected to be featured on the 2017 Pine Tree Society holiday cards will be unveiled. Wine and refreshments will be served.
“It’s amazing to think of the impact that the work has had to the people we serve,” Pine Tree Society Chief Development Officer, Erin Rice said. “We estimate that collectively the work we will be showcasing represents about $3 million in holiday cards sales over the past 50 years. Those funds have gone directly to transform the lives of Maine people with disabilities. Together, we have made a tremendous impact to the people of Maine. Please join us as we celebrate.”
Pine Tree Society helps people in Maine with disabilities lead richer, more socially connected lives.
