A highlight of the 2026 season at Maine Art Gallery in Wiscasset is a curated group exhibition of 10 esteemed artists, \u201cSong of the Wild: Honoring the Natural Beauty and Wildlife of Maine.\u201d It will run from June 18 through July 26 with an opening reception from 4:20-6:30 p.m. Saturday, June 20.<\/p>\n
Jane Dahmen\u2019s large-scale canvases immerse viewers in forests, rivers and coastal landscapes while Eric Hopkins\u2019 paintings focus on aerial views of land and sea. Sarah Farragher\u2019s paintings capture glimmering waters, Matt Barter paints the Midcoast\u2019s working waterways and Katherine Shagas expresses the area\u2019s elemental energy in her abstract paintings. Barbara Sullivan creates three-dimensional hanging frescoes of local mammals while Lesia Sochor uses birch bark in her 3D depictions of wildlife. The photography of Liv Kristin Robinson highlights backyard insects, and visionary naturalist painter Emily Sabino celebrates the area\u2019s healing plants and seeds. Abstract painter Joy Vaughn is inspired by seascapes and landscapes of her South Bristol environs. The exhibition is co-curated by Dahmen and Sabino.<\/p>\n
In addition to being a painter, Sabino is a musician and will be singing with her husband, Lenin, at the reception. Their group, The Flying Seeds, combines musical styles from the Peruvian Andes with folk traditions of the Unites States. Lenin plays a variety of Peruvian instruments and the guitar. Their first album was \u201cStreet Songs and Meadow Music,\u201d and their soon-to-be-released album, \u201cCielo Azul,\u201d is a collection of visionary troubadour ballads. Music critic Dan MacIntosh wrote that their music \u201cis filled with expertly played and sung music,\u201d and that \u201cEmily sings \u2026 in a Karen Carpenter\u2013like voice over a pop backing with just the right amount of Peruvian instrumental spices \u2026 \u201c<\/p>\n Also performing during the reception will be Eenor\u2019s Sonic Wallpaper, a one-man-band who mixes electronic sounds to create multilayered soundscapes tailored to fit specific environments.<\/p>\n Concurrent events during the exhibition include a talk on July 11, \u201cThe Impact of Air,\u201d by Community Science Director for Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust, Sarah Gladu, and a panel discussion, \u201cNature as Muse,\u201d on July 16.<\/p>\n A nonprofit organization, Maine Art Gallery is dedicated to the advancement and preservation of the visual, fine and applied arts through exhibitions, lectures, demonstrations and educational programs for children and adults since 1958.
