Welcome to the first week of Maine Art Paintings and Sculpture’s 20th Anniversary Celebration. Over the next few weeks, we will be using the blog to keep you updated on what’s going on, what to expect, and of course a little kudos for events that have gone by.

As most of you know the show opens Saturday, July 22nd at 11am sharp up at Maine Art Shows.  This will be the first real look at the over thirty artists’ work.
