Following a successful inaugural year that resonated with the local creative community, the Boothbay Region Art Foundation (BRAF) is pleased to announce the return of its themed, non-juried exhibition: “Wintering.”

Now in its second year, this exhibit invites artists to explore the multifaceted nature of the season. BRAF seeks unique interpretations of the winter experience—showcasing the quiet beauty, the stark wonder, and the distinct challenges of the colder months.

“Wintering” is open to all Maine-based artists. We encourage submissions ranging from representative to abstract, across all media including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, ceramics, and digital art.
