SOUTHPORT — Lincoln Arts Festival’s annual boatyard art show and sale, Arts & Yachts, continues Friday, Aug. 22 through Sunday, Aug. 24, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Located at Hodgdon Yacht Services (formerly the Boothbay Region Boatyard) on Southport, the Arts & Yachts event will highlight both the work of visual artists and the yachtmaking skills of the boatyard. You can’t ask for a more perfect setting for a Maine summer event than this!
Twenty-five Boothbay region artists will show paintings and sculpture, jewelry and furniture, fiber arts and glass, wood, ceramics, photographs, and prints. The exciting thing about this show for visitors is that it is designed for interaction and participation as well as observation and shopping. Villard Studios will host free hands-on printmaking tutorials throughout the weekend featuring a traditional American woodblock printing process they use and teach in their studio. The activities are both child and adult-friendly.
To reach the show at Hodgdon Yacht Services, follow the ART SHOW signs all along Rt 27 S, across the Southport bridge onto Ebenecook Rd. FMI, call 633-3913 or www.LincolnArtsFestival.net.
