Rooted In Art:
Celebrating Our Coastal Region

RECEPTION & POETRY READING
Wednesday, September 16, 5–7pm
(Poetry Reading begins at 6pm)

Rooted In Art  This special fall exhibition concludes a season of events marking Courthouse Gallery’s 20th anniversary. While the spring exhibition, “Ellsworth As Muse,” honored the gallery’s hometown, “Rooted In Art” turns its attention to the broad network of coastal communities surrounding the gallery and the deep connection to place shared by the individuals who form the gallery’s extended artistic family. Rooted In Art brings together visual artists and poets to create personal interpretations of a “sense of place” within the region. Here, water, weather, and light continually shape the landscape, giving this beloved stretch of the Maine coast its quiet, enduring beauty. An exhibition catalog is available on request.
