BRUNSWICK — In collaboration with the ninth annual Peace Fair, a collection of portraits by artist Robert Shetterly will be displayed at Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant St., from July 12 to Aug. 3.
The show, called “Peacemakers from Americans Who Tell the Truth,” will be seen in the library’s Morrell Community Room. It will feature several youths who have made courageous stands for humanity, justice and nonviolence including Samantha Smith, the Maine teenager who earned fame in 1982 for writing a peace letter to then- Soviet Prime Minister Yuri Andropov.
In addition, a gallery talk July 12, at 6 p.m., will be featured as part of Brunswick’s July Art Walk.
Shetterly, an Ohio native who moved to Maine in 1970, also will make an appearance at the Peace Fair on Saturday, Aug. 3, to speak to fairgoers about encouraging and empowering youths to be “active citizens.”
