In April, we hosted a successful evening of open studios for the Contemporaries, a group of youngish art supporters started by the Portland Museum of Art. You can see some pictures and read about the event on Avery Kamila's blog, In a Snap.

"Here's Sage Lewis in her studio space. You can see a few of her intricate works on the wall, which she creates using techniques including ink on paper and embroidery. Her work was included in last year's Biennial at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockport."
