Summer is fleeting in New England and so it’s a season to savor, to slow the pace, appreciate breezy warm days, summer sun and wafting white clouds. “Coasting”, a group exhibition opening May 20th at Edgewater Gallery on the Green celebrates the precious days of summer. The six participating artists’ interpretations of the theme show us views of coastal life from Maine, to Massachusetts to New York State. Liz Hoag, Tim Horn, James Kimak, and Janis Sanders paint the New England coast from the perspective of a walk along a wooded shoreline, or from a distant vantage point that gives a panoramic view of boats in the harbor or as seen from a dune looking at an expanse of the Cape Cod beach. Lori Mehta’s figures breathe with the fresh ocean air on the beach and Jay Lagemann’s sculptures exude the joy that a child feels on a summer bike ride.

“Coasting” brings together 6 of our established artists as they pay tribute to the coming season.

Join us for an opening reception for “Coasting” and “Seasonal Majesty”, a solo exhibition of paintings by Rory Jackson, on Thursday June 8, 2023 5:00 – 6:30 PM, at Edgewater Gallery on the Green, 6 Merchants Row , Middlebury. The reception is free and open to all.
