Allen & Selig Realty Welcomes the Kennebec Art Club to its Office Gallery

Allen & Selig Realty's Bath office is pleased to have the works of members of the Kennebec Art Club on display in its Office Gallery, now through the end of September. Exhibits of different KAC artists will rotate each month in conjunction with Bath's Third Friday Art Walk (and drive). All paintings on display in our Office Gallery may be purchased by contacting the artists directly.

On display though the end of June are the works of local artists:

• Livy Glaubitz of Creekside Gallery in Bath. Livy has traveled extensively and she sketches and paints along the way - her watercolors are stunning!

• Elizabeth (Betty) Johnson of Phippsburg works in pastels and many of her paintings are scenes from her own backyard, which happily, includes the Kennebec River.

This summer's first Art Walk will be Friday, June 19th from 5:00 - 8:00 pm. Twenty different venues are on the route and maps may be picked up at our office, 15 Vine Street in Bath - right off Route 1 "in the shadow of the bridge." We invite you to join us at Allen & Selig Realty to kick off a summer evening enjoying local art and meeting the artists. Livy and Betty will be on hand in our Office Gallery to visit with our guests and talk about their work. Also, we are inviting local artists to set up their easels in our "front yard" or "on our veranda" and paint or draw the iconic Bath bridge, or other "cityscape" during Art Walk evenings. Space is limited so we ask that you call our office to let us know which Art Walk you plan to come paint - 207/443-2200 "Talk To Terry" at Ext. 104.

Downtown Bath Art Walk locations are "walkable" but you may want to drive to the South and North End studios on the route. Alternatively, Ed Rice of River Run Tours offers a boat ride and shuttle on the Kennebec River for $5 per person. Board the boat at Waterfront Park on Commercial Street and stop at the North End or South End boat launches for a short walk to participating studios.

Each Art Walk Friday at Allen & Selig Realty will offer new art work and there will always be some extra fun! This event has taken on a life of its own in some respects and we get calls almost every day from someone with another new idea!

When you think about it, Art and Real Estate go hand in hand and our local artists do so much to enrich our lives, beautify our homes and our lift-up our communities. Especially, these days, we need the arts to buoy our spirits and re-energize our souls. So, please come on out to Bath's Art Walk, or whatever local art events you have in your own communities, and I guarantee you will be amazed at the wealth of talent that lives among us!

SUPPORT THE ARTS IN ALL FORMS WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM!
