Boothbay Harbor, Maine - The Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce a new event, Artist Alley, to the 50th Annual Windjammer Day's roster of unique and exciting things to do during this celebration. On June 26, two streets (Bridge Street and By-Way Street) will be blocked off for this street fair that will be a mixture of pieces to view, artists performing live demonstrations and creating artworks on the spot for the public to enjoy.
Among the talented artists doing live demonstrations are Tony VanHasselt, John Seitzer, Barbara Eldred, Margaret Canepa and Jim Taliana. The Boothbay Region Art Foundation will be displaying the works of many Maine artists in their two tents. The CocoVivo Gallery tent will feature many of the gallery’s fine artists. Margaret Canapa will be showing her work as well as demonstrating her painting techniques. Helen Farnham and Pat Young will be showing their unique line of greeting cards. Bob Rose will be drawing portraits. Jim Taliana will be demonstrating palette knife painting. The multi-talented Ruth Monsell will be exhibiting her oil paintings as well as cutting her famous silhouettes of people.
There will be a large array of colorful stained glass by Richard McDonald, and displays of photography by both Carl Jackson and the Mainely Landscape Photography group. Barbara Eldred will be showing her clay work, giving children a chance to try their hand at it. Donna Denniston, president of the Boothbay Region Art Foundation, will be demonstrating sculpting the human figure in clay.
This festive atmosphere will crackle with creativity; and the vast variety of art work by Maine artists will be impressive.
The 2012 Windjammer Days is scheduled to take place June 24-27, with the schooners appearing in Linekin Bay on the 26th and in the harbor on 27th.
