Civic Arts League members had more than 3.7 million square miles to consider in choosing works for the exhibit “Images Across America,” but several of its members were partial to the country’s northeasternmost state.
Maine is the 39th largest in the United States, but it was foremost in the imagination of several league members.
“It’s a beautiful, beautiful state,” says Carolyn Jo Cannon of Chattanooga. “It’s a lot like here but different.”
The fourth annual juried exhibit, which includes 36 works by 19 artists, will be on display through Nov. 14 at Ringgold Art and Frame Gallery.
