Boothbay Region Art Foundation’s (BRAF) final members’ show for the summer of ’21 is providing a seasonal theme with fall colors predominating, along with the “perennial” last blooms of summer. As always, our collection includes an eclectic variety of styles, mediums, and subject matter.

In addition to the regular members’ show, BRAF is sponsoring two special solo-artists with shows in the upstairs area. In Gallery One, Waterville artist Barbara Chase is presenting her “Maine-ly Inspired” collection of acrylics. Subjects include barnyard critters, coastal scenery, birds, bees, landscapes and flowers.

Upstairs in the Harbor-View Room, Diana Washburn, of Falmouth has installed a body of work featuring pastels, paints and mixed media. Landscapes are her favorite subject because scenery is never the same twice – each painting becomes a a frozen moment in time. Most of all, Diana wants to share her love of painting with others.

The current members’ “Glory Days of Autumn” exhibit, and the upstairs solo shows, will continue through Monday, Oct. 11.

The Boothbay Region Art Foundation is located in downtown Boothbay Harbor at 1 Townsend Ave. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
