Artist Amy Ray’s large body of ink paintings, ‘The Seaweed Show,’ is on view at EAC’s Washington Street Gallery. The paintings chronicle Ray’s exploration of seaweed from small studies to large scale abstracted works.
The show will run through Sunday, June 26, and is viewable during EAC events or by chance, or during special open hours 1-3 pm, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
These events are planned in conjunction with the exhibition:
Sunday, June 5 from 4-8 pm: Opening artist’s reception
Sunday, June 26 from 1-4 pm: Closing coffee and conversation event
Ray was born in Eastport in 1961 and has recently returned to live year round. She received her MFA in painting from Brooklyn College and her BFA in drawing from USM.
Washington Street Gallery is located on the first floor of Eastport Arts Center, 36 Washington Street, Eastport and eastportartscenter.org, and is handicapped-accessible. EAC abides by State of Maine CDC COVID guidelines. Additionally, at this time, patrons are required to wear masks when in the EAC building.
The work of Eastport Arts Center is funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
