Artists Reception: Gayle Fraas and Duncan Slade
Join artists Gayle Fraas and Duncan Slade for a reception and preview of the exhibit Peninsula – Waiting for Twilight, opening in the gallery room at Boothbay Region Land Trust’s Oak Point Farm on Thursday, June 4 from 4pm-6pm. The artist team’s works, both on paper and dye painted quilts, include landscapes with familiar BRLT trails and shoreline combined with related patterns.
“We walk trails along the shore at the end of the day when the color drains from the landscape leaving only contrast, awaiting the dome of the night sky.”
Peninsula will remain on display through the summer and fall of 2026 during visitor center hours, Monday through Friday from 9:30 am – 4:30 pm. A percentage of the sales from this show will benefit BRLT’s land conservation and public access.
