Join us for the opening of a new Gallery Within exhibit: Maine: This Must Be the Place, featuring the photographs of Julie Cleveland. 

 

Open house: 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Then stay for our afternoon music with Bobby Cleveland: Bach, Handel and Philip Glass. 

 

Photographer Julie Cleveland writes that she “can’t remember when photography hasn’t been part of my life.” When she first began working in a darkroom, she found “watching an image appear in the developer . . . was magic.” She writes that “the camera records the image, but it’s the eye that finds it . . . my work is more like painting than photography. I try to create order and simplicity and show the viewer a small piece of the puzzle, not the entire landscape. This sometimes takes my images to abstraction.”
