Midcoast Health Collective will open its doors to the community on Friday, June 5, from 4 to 6 p.m., pairing a tour of its downtown wellness space with an exhibition of new paintings by practitioner and artist Erika Manning.

Timed to coincide with Rockland's First Friday Art Walk, this free event invites community members to tour the collective at 558 Main Street, meet the practitioners, ask questions about services, enjoy light refreshments, and view Manning's artwork.

Featured Art Exhibition

Erika Manning's collection of abstract mixed-media and oil paintings explores the spaces between landscape and consciousness. Her work explores the still places where we can pause and rest our attention, as well as the intertidal spaces where transformation occurs. Artwork will be available for viewing and purchase.

In addition to her artistic practice, Manning offers an integrative approach to massage therapy that combines the structure of clinical bodywork with the intuition of energetic therapies.

"Her work is known for its gentleness, depth, and ability to support healing on the physical, emotional, and energetic levels," said the Collective, in a news release.
