    BELFAST — Senior College at Belfast invites all Maine artists, 50 years of age and older, amateur and professional, to participate in the 2015 Festival of Art to be held at the University of Maine Hutchinson Center in Belfast, May 21-24.

    The registration period for artists is March 1 through March 31.

    Registration materials and information may be requested at seniorcollegefestivalofart@gmail.com, or leave a message at 338-8033.

    All types of visual art are welcome: paintings, sculptures, woodcarvings, jewelry, fabric arts, pottery, and photography are a few examples. Artists will have an opportunity to sell their work if they wish. Artwork is to be delivered on May 20.

    For the past twelve years, this four-day exhibit has included work from new artists, well-known accomplished artists, those artists who are striving to build their reputations, as well as those who only wish to share their work with an appreciative audience.

    At times, there have been up to 170 artists participating in this event, and several hundred visitors to the exhibit.
