Enjoy Maine art and meet the artists of the Plein Air Painters of Maine at a reception hosted by Historic New England on Thursday, July 31 from 4 to 7 p.m.
The theme of this year’s show is “Old, New and In Between." Share experiences seen through the eyes of 21 artists in the beautiful historic Nickels-Sortwell House barn, 121 Main St., Wiscasset. The reception is free, casual and open to the public.

This event is held in conjunction with the Wiscasset Art Walk.
