Experience Portland’s signature holiday decorations with holiday light sculptures by artist Pandora LaCasse.

This exhibition examines, for the first time, the artistic interrelationship of the painter Winslow Homer, his close friend the architect John Calvin Stevens, and the Portland Society of Art, the Portland Museum of Art’s predecessor. With architectural drawings and a range of paintings and watercolors by Winslow Homer and his Maine contemporaries, this installation of 50 works provides a deeper understanding of Portland’s art world at the turn of the last century.

Museum hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

In conjunction with the opening of the Winslow Homer Studio in September 2012, the museum commissioned five contemporary photographers to reflect on this historic structure and its setting with works that combined the latest digital technologies with a variety of historic processes available during Homer’s lifetime. They employed both historic, large-plate cameras and modern digital cameras, and a variety of print processes. The earliest method of making images of the real world with light—the camera obscura—is the technique explored by Abelardo Morell with his unique tent camera.

The first career museum retrospective for American painter Lois Dodd will feature paintings that define the places and subjects that have mattered most in her nearly 60-year career—views of New York City’s Lower East Side from her apartment windows; of the woods and gardens of Midcoast Maine; and wintery scenes near her family home in New Jersey. Dodd was a key member of New York’s postwar art scene and part of the wave of modern artists who explored the coast of Maine in the latter half of the 20th century.

Join us for this group show where artists created works of art based on personal mementos that have been carried with them over time. Themes of possession and dispossession are explored through a variety of media. Sentimental objects previously kept in boxes and drawers are reexamined and reworked by the artist.

Gardiner, Maine --In February Monkitree Gallery, 263 Water Street in Gardiner will present an exhibition featuring Jim and Fran Townsend, a husband-wife team of photographers/artists from Richmond, Maine. The show represents the point where their passions converge and diverge. As a husband and wife, they share life, but see it through their own artistic filter and bring to you, the viewer their individual interpretation of the world around them.
