SUMMARY:Dean McCrillis Artist Talk - Cove Street Gallery 6 PM  Thursday  & Rising Tide Aftah
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe artist of a current Cove Street exhibit speak Thursday at  6 pm. Rising Tide tour pours until 8 PM. Meet inside the gallery at 5:45. \nArtist Statement of his current exhibit  at the Cove Street Gallery in Portland.  When you see his work\, you can tell his “gets” western Maine. \nThe woods and waters of Western Maine serve as a backdrop for this group of pictures\, as it holds the deepest love and connection of any area I have known. However\, with the passing of time\, and an ever-growing distance between my present station in life and the tributaries of my youth\, I feel a sense of yearning for this place that shaped me. \nI connect to these foundational spaces through my process\, paying homage to a way of life lived slightly closer to the earth\, and to the awe-inspiring natural beauty of a geographic region of personal and ancestral significance. Through the act of painting\, real memories and imagined spaces can coalesce. Earth tones and fluorescent paint can entwine\, holding space for one another at the same time. \nInvoked throughout is an acknowledgment of Jim Harrison’s poetic insights on how we spend our lives immersed in the richness and immediacy of living\, barely aware of the passage of time and the constant state of flux in which we and everything around us exist. These works lean into the paradox of how our memories and sense of self are eternally bound to\, though continuously flung further from\, an ever-expanding chain of ephemeral experiences. \n~ Dean McCrillis

SUMMARY:MOAC monthly meeting: Stevenson Trail in France: MOACers in the Cévennes with Donkeys!
DESCRIPTION:On the Stevenson Trail in France: MOACers in the Cévennes with Donkeys! Monthly moac meeting Allen Ave. UU Church\, Portland\, ME \n\nThe Stevenson Trail is named after the author of Treasure Island who also wrote Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes about his 1878 journey along this route. The trail\, also called the GR70\, runs 169 miles through the beautiful and varied landscape of France’s Massif Central mountain region\, passing through tiny villages\, cultivated forests\, rocky hills\, river valleys\, and even ski slopes. Travelers can link days of hiking with stays at campsites or in hotels or lodges. Never close to a city\, but never far from human habitation\, the Stevenson Trail offers both quiet enjoyment of nature and the chance to meet other hikers each day. \n\nAnd of course\, there are the donkeys! Stevenson traveled with his little donkey\, Modestine\, and several outfitters now offer pack donkeys who will carry your gear and keep you company. Our MOAC group took three donkeys on our adventure where we learned a lot about trekking with these wonderful animals. We’ll share what we learned about hiking in France\, exploring one of France’s great trails with the aid of the Stevenson Trail Association\, and making friends with a donkey. \n\nBio: \nMaria Snyder and Tom Walker moved to Maine from the Midwest four years ago.  One of the first things they did was join MOAC.  They are frequent travelers.  In particular they have visited a number of different regions in France\, which led them to hiking the Stevenson trail in the Cévennes.
