Wells Public Library will exhibit the work of 25 local artists throughout the month of August (Friday, Aug. 1 to Saturday, Aug. 30) during regular library hours. A public reception is scheduled for Thursday, August 7, from 5 to 7 pm.

Participating artists, working in a variety of media, are members of the Art Guild of the Kennebunks and they will present their reflections on popular southern coastal themes such as oceans and marshes, rivers draining into the sea and the area’s rocky shores.

Wells Exhibit Coordinator Steve Hrehovcik said it is the first time that Guild artists have had an opportunity to exhibit their work at Wells Public Library.

“It is a distinct honor,” said Wendy Gallart, vice president of the Art Guild of the Kennebunks. “Working
together like this, sharing our work, can only strengthen the arts community in this area.”

Wells Public Library is located at 1434 Post Road (Route 1).

Art Guild of the Kennebunks is also preparing for its second annual Summer Celebration of Art exhibit at the Community House in Kennebunkport. The exhibit will run from Friday, July 18 thru Sunday, July 20. A public reception will be held on Friday, July 18, 4 to 6 p.m.
