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:Memorial Day Weekend Camping in Bar Harbor - UPDATE!!
DESCRIPTION:As of 3/25/26\, Hadley’s lists 9 tent sites available and “plenty” of RV sites (water/electric/some with sewer). If you are interested in this trip\, please don’t wait too long. You also do NOT need to stay at Hadley’s. You are welcome to outdoor adventure with us and hang out for the evening/whenever festivities. \nLet’s keep a long-standing MOAC tradition alive by welcoming summer with a group campout on Mt. Desert Island. \nWe camped at Hadley’s Point CG last year and had a great time. Hadley’s Point is just off Route 3 as you head to Bar Harbor. It is 2.5 miles before Bar Harbor Campground. Holiday weekend prices appear to be: \n\nField tent sites are $37.00 per night\nWooded tent sites are $39.00 per night\nSites with water/electric are $54.00 per night\nThey even have cabins if you want to check those out\n\nThere appears to be a $3.25 campground fee\, plus tax of course. \nhttps://www.hadleyspoint.com/ \nTammy and I will reserve site C-37 (water and electric) and it is near to a pod of tent sites (13-20\, 30-36\, 40-42). We will also reserve C-36 to use as a home base for the group. We will ask attendees to help pay for this community site. If we get 25 people\, that will mean about $5 per person for the weekend. \nIf you choose to go\, please drop us a line at pcm25me@gmail.com so we know who to expect and what site you are in. You can also stay anywhere you like and come visit as well. \nYou do have to make your own reservations. Deposit amounts vary. For 1-2 nights\, it is the full balance. For 3 or more it is $100. Unfortunately\, they state there are no refunds for a holiday weekend. \nIt might be best to grab a site as soon as you can if you are interested. \nWe will continue the traditional experience of group happy hours and pot luck dinners in the evenings. Restaurants are also on the table. Activities during the day will be up to the group. Hiking\, biking\, paddling\, etc.
