VINALHAVEN — New Era Gallery in Vinalhaven presents an Early Summer Show from June 22 through July 9, 2024. The show features the oil and mixed media paintings of Elaine Austin Crossman and the pottery of Sylvia Lacey.

Crossman, whose work is included in the recently published Art of Penobscot Bay by Carl Little and David Little, has been painting the sea and landscapes of Vinalhaven for over 40 years. Her work focuses on the changing seasons and weather of Vinalhaven, especially at the edges of sky and land.

Lacey’s refined carved and stamped stoneware and porcelain vases, bowls, mugs and plates are made in her studio on Vinalhaven, and reflect the beauty of the natural world.

There will be an Artists’ Talk at 4:30 p.m., in the Windy Way Barn behind the gallery, followed by a reception from 5 to 7 p.m.

Summer Gallery hours, beginning June 24 are Monday through Saturday 10:00am to 5:00pm and Sundays by appointment. For more information call 863-9351 or visit neweragallery.com.
