University of Maine Museum of Art announces summer exhibitions

The University of Maine Museum of Art has announced its summer exhibitions, running May 25 through Sept. 1.

Helen O’Leary’s “Safe House” consists of works showcasing a combination of painting and sculpture methods through repurposed materials emerging from “the chiseling of earlier attempts” to reflect the process of her work.

Diana Schmertz’s “They Are Each Other For A While” is a collection of paintings focusing on the self related to others, and human interaction.

Steve Bartlett’s “Works from 2013–2018,” a collection of sculptures large and small made from ash, oak and walnut, present organic and geometric shapes. The works in this collection include several never-before-seen pieces from 2017 and 2018.

Eric Lindveit’s “Sylvan Natural History,” a series of dimensional paper works depicting close-ups of New York City trees, are a representation of a “built environment” and a relationship to the natural world.

The museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and is located at 40 Harlow Street in Bangor. Admission is free in 2018 thanks to Deighan Wealth Advisors.
