Twenty-one of Pemaquid Art Gallery’s talented  artists share their varied styles, mediums and views of the beauty in Maine landscape and wildlife at the Damariscotta River Grill. This comprehensive show opens Nov. 11 and will be on exhibit through April 13. The “Art at the Grill” opening evening is Thursday, Nov. 20. Join us for a special Prix Fixe three course menu that will be offered for $29, with a choice of wine pairings for $10, or choose a selection from the regular menu, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. A portion of the dinner proceeds will be used to fund a scholarship for a Lincoln Academy student pursuing an art education.

This talented group of Midcoast Maine artists include  Deb Arter, Stephen Busch, Dianne Dolan, Gwendolyn Evans, Sarah Fisher, Doug Houle, Hannah Ineson, Will Kefauver, Jan Kilburn, Katey Lapinski, Sally Loughridge, Jon Luoma, Judy Nixon, Deb Paul, Gary Smith, Cindy Spencer, Liliana Thelander, Kimberly Traina, Barbara Vanderbilt, and Sherrie York. The Pemaquid Group of Artists includes over 30 juried Maine artists whose mediums include painting, pastels, ceramics, printmaking, woodworking, and drawing. This year, PGA celebrated 96 continuous years of exhibitions, and its 64th year in the gallery at Lighthouse Park on Pemaquid Point. The Pemaquid Art Gallery is open from Memorial Day through Columbus Day. 

The award-winning PGA artists are all current residents of Lincoln County, whose work is also represented in collections across the country. The group includes both regionally and nationally known artists. Each year, the group opens to jurying new applicants who represent the best of the Midcoast art scene.

PGA’s mission is to provide a venue for qualified area artists, enrich the cultural environment for area residents and visitors, and foster and support art education through financial donations. 

The Grill  is open six days a week, 4-8:30 p.m., closed on Sundays. Happy Hour is 3-5:30 p.m. in the bar upstairs. To make a reservation, please call 207-563-2992.
