Arts In The Barn/Cushing Historical Society presents "The Wildlife Show”, July 24 -26, and opens with a celebration on Friday, July 24, from 5- 7 p.m.; refreshments will be served. This is a pop up weekend show. The hours are Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“The Wildlife Show” is a community event where all ages, skill levels, and medium are invited to portray what “wildlife” means to them. This is a non-juried event that will feature various fine arts and crafts that showcase local talent.

"Come and see creatures of imagination, realistic renderings of animals, wild humans having a party and many styles in between," said Arts in the Barn, in a news release.

Arts In The Barn is at 17 Hathorne Point Road, in Cushing, just a mile before the Olson House. For more information, please contact cushingaitb@gmail.com.

The Arts In The Barn program is under the 501c3 statute for the Cushing Historical Society, and these programs benefit the Historical Society’s aims. We are a community supportive organization and have talks and presentations about the history, cultural heritage and persons of interest in our midcoast area.
