River Arts invites the public to the opening reception for its “Artist’s Choice” exhibition from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28. “Artist’s Choice” is an annual show highlighting the range of styles of art by those in the Maine art community. Many of the contributing artists will be present for an afternoon of conversation, art and light refreshments. “Artist’s Choice” runs until Nov. 9.
Alice Kirkpatrick was the juror for “Artist’s Choice.” With 128 artists submitting 186 pieces of work, Kirkpatrick selected 83 pieces by 78 artists. Kirkpatrick was impressed by the breadth of talent and vision demonstrated.
“Congratulations to River Arts for drawing in such a strong body of submissions,” she said in a prepared release from River Arts. “It’s going to be a truly beautiful show.”
Coinciding with the main gallery reception, Jeremy Barnard’s solo photography show, “Italia in Tre,” continues in the River Room through Oct. 2. Barnard’s exhibition features infrared and color photography showing the diversity of landscapes and medieval villages of Central and Northern Italy.
River Arts is located at 36 Elm St. in Damariscotta. Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call the gallery at 563-6868 or email info@riverartsme.org.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
