As part of our "Sunbury Shores: The heART of our Community" campaign, we're running another online exhibition until the end of February.
We're inviting you to create artwork that expresses something you love - and submit photos via direct message - with your name, and a brief description of your work and we will feature it on our page, adding it to this new album!
Sunbury Shores is creating a window installation for displaying local poetry! Submit your poem to info@sunburyshores.org and we will select a collection to print for the public to enjoy! If you are looking for inspiration to get going, might we suggest the following: Create short phrases in your poetry that reach out to people as they pass; comfort them, make them think, share a thought that's stuck with you; or make poems that jump into people's pockets as they carry on through their day.
Join the University of Southern Maine for this exhibition which has two locations: our Art Gallery in Gorham, Maine and our Glickman Library's 7th Floor Reading Room in Portland, Maine. With traditional hand papermaking at its core, PULPED UNDER PRESSURE underscores important contemporary issues steeped in history and craft. Enticed through touch, these works encourage a contemplative slowing down even as they urge acknowledgment of some of the most pressing issues (environmental crisis to global marginalization) facing civilization today.
This is an ongoing exhibit through December 9. The hours for the Art Gallery are 11 AM – 4:30 PM, Tuesday – Saturday. The hours for the Glickman Library are 8 AM – 4 PM, Monday – Friday.
Enter now for a chance at winning a one night getaway for two at the Rossmount Inn! The room includes a queen bed, country view, three course dinner chosen from the a la carte menu, breakfast, Grand Manan adventure ferry ticket for two plus vehicle, and a $50 Irving gift card. The draw date will be October 31.
Tickets are 1 for $10 or 3 for $20 and are available from the Library Board of Trustees or at the Grand Manan Library. Proceeds go to the library (thank you for your support). Call 506-662-7099 for more information.

Phillip Robertson is an artist and educator living in Vermont. Visiting the Lubec area for the last 25 years with his family, Robertson has sketched and made prints of the Maine coast and the Northern New England landscape. Primarily working with relief printmaking, he transforms his sketches made from nature into multiple prints using traditional techniques.
See Robertson's work through the month of October at the Lubec Memorial Library. A portion of sales will be donated to the library. On Saturday October 29, the artist will be present at the end of the exhibit from noon to 2 pm with unframed prints for sale.
The Little K Gallery at 76 High Street in Eastport is celebrating its second annual Hallowtober this month! Get creative and bring your small spooky themed arts and crafts to this free little art gallery. Children and adults are welcome to browse the gallery, leave art and/or take whatever you like. Halloween week the gallery will also have free little toys for the young (weather permitting). Remember to enter alongside the church and parking is on the street.
If you missed the recent performance of Barbara Toothpick and Alan HorseRadish at the Eastport Arts Center, or if you'd like a refresher, good news! The performance is now available for viewing online as EAC's most recent video release. Toothpick's original songs tell stories about events in Pembroke in the 1970s and 1980s when the couple lived in Washington County full-time: the 3rd of July dance at the old high school where the fire station is now; the fight that brought 27 cop cars into town; the dirty movies Howard Smith showed in the Sears building across the street from the couple’s home; and the Girl Scout song Toothpick wrote while HorseRadish was Scout Leader.

“Memories From Lubec” is a work-in-progress series that is presented on the walls of the Lubec Memorial Library through the month of November. John Rule, who has been involved in photography since the 1960s and has exhibited internationally, utilized a century-old camera to capture these images, using large format techniques that produce silver-based negatives five inches by seven inches. Each is processed individually in his own darkroom, then produced as the contact prints seen here. The subject matter is Lubec, and only Lubec, over the last eight years.
For library hours, see this page. Each photograph is for sale at $50; proceeds will go to the library.
