This exhibition is timed to coincide not only with the statewide Maine Print Project, but also with the “Arts in the Community” weekend sponsored by Main Street Bath. Artists include: Susan Amons, Nina Bohlen, Crystal Cawley, Frank Chin, Yvonne Jacquette, Alan Magee, Susan Newboldt, Stephanie Rayner, Alice Spencer and Susan Webster.

In keeping with our mission as a community art resource, there are two other components to our offerings. First, our exhibitors will be invited to participate in our popular ongoing lecture series, Sunday Art Salon, during the exhibition time frame. We will also offer workshops led by exhibitors as well as local artists to our members and community members who are interested in exploring the medium. Pieces created in the workshops will be displayed in adjacent gallery space as well as in gallery space in adjoining communities. This will take the artwork and knowledge of the medium to community members who might not come to lectures or workshops.

As a follow up during the spring of 2007, we will conduct more monotype workshops, and focus on creating a community print-making installation as an exercise in affirmations. During the workshops, a series of standard sized prints will be completed focused on a theme of affirmations. The finished works will be installed in The Chocolate Church Arts Center Gallery, and individually hung from the ceiling, creating a space of reflection and appreciation—a “Community Portrait.”
