Join us for this group show where artists created works of art based on personal mementos that have been carried with them over time. Themes of possession and dispossession are explored through a variety of media. Sentimental objects previously kept in boxes and drawers are reexamined and reworked by the artist.

This exhibit will also feature a living story wall, a memento wall, a beehive of sorts, where visitors are encouraged to let go of their own tokens or small possessions – be it something found on the way to the gallery, something from your pocket, or something from your past – which may be left with a note, short story or explanation for the next visitor to discover.

Our New Books
	Ultimate Acadia \| Ultimate Acadia is the essential book about Maine’s Mount Desert Island, providing everything you need to know to make the most of your time there.
	Eric Hopkins \| From his earliest work with glass to the stunning aerial panoramas of Maine islands that have gained him far-reaching fame, Eric Hopkins has consistently explored boundaries—of medium, of space, of vision.
	Maine ABC \| Illustrated with distinct Maine icons, such as moose, lobster, and Katahdin, this book has a rhyming verse that will have children singing the words, asking for it to be read again and again, and learning the alphabet in no time.
	Take Heart \| In this collection of verse, Maine Poet Laureate Wesley McNair has collected the work of Maine poets from his popular “Take Heart” column, featuring a poem each week in thirty newspapers across the state and reaching a quarter of a million readers.
