Paintings by Arthur Cadieux
A beloved community member who passed away in December 2015, Cadieux noted that his influences included: “Modern and past European and American masters, especially the abstract expressionists of the 1950s and social content painting of the 1930s. I never fully recovered from first seeing Van Gogh, Bonnard and Matisse. I push my painting to the edge, going for broke, sometimes disregarding all rules and taste in order to produce a successful piece."

Eastport Arts Center’s Washington Street Gallery exhibits local as well as state, national and international visual art. Exhibitions include discussions and lectures pertaining to the exhibited work. To fulfill the larger purpose of educating, engaging and entertaining the greater Eastport community concerning the visual arts, additional lectures and discussions will, from time to time, be offered.
The gallery is open during EAC events.
