Last Season's Events

 

Sunday, August 10th, 2003. "5th Annual Art On The Porch Event".

Indications are that there were 42 artists/artisans attending this year's event on a windy but sunny Peaks Island day (the rain held off til closing).  A wonderful, wide range of fine arts and crafts were displayed, and most reports say everyone did quite well.

Several of this year's artists of note included Martha Daligan selling her woven hammocks.  Also highlights were an assortment of prints and paintings by Marie Galland-Dodin, pictures of angels from photographer Doug Emerson, nice jewelry from Ceilia Stricker and Peggy Woodside.  Jen O'Toole had some special paintings of tide pools inspired by Peaks' backshore.

Show attendees also enjoyed products of Rick Boyd's kiln, Carolyn Parker's candles that burn for months, and colorful paintings and photos from Barbara Noonan of veggies and flowers. Rhonda Berg sold jewelry of blown-glass beads that really caught the afternoon sun.  And, we'd be remiss if we failed to mention the tasty hamburgers and dogs prepared by the vendors of the 5th Maine Board.  Next year we'll also include the dining room as a place for artists to show their goods....so start creating now...!
