Salt Pond Studio in Friendship, Maine, presents “INTREPID,” a group exhibition featuring 11 Mid Coast artists. Curated by artist/owner Pam Cabanas, the show includes paintings by Gregory Dunham, Bjorn Runquist, Lyn Asselta, Stephen Florimbi, Jane Herbert, Doug Smith, Thomas Bucci, Karin Strong, Margaret Creighton, Molly Mugler, and Jean Kigel, with works ranging from plein air landscapes to seascapes. An opening celebration is scheduled for June 13 from 3:00 to 7:00 pm.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the vibrant local art scene in mid-coast Maine, bringing together established and emerging artists from the region. Salt Pond Studio, housed in a historic schoolhouse, serves as a community hub for art appreciation and conversation, reinforcing the importance of small galleries in sustaining regional artistic communities.
