Wiscasset Art Walk has generated much excitement in town as well as a renewed sense of community. This new, invigorated atmosphere in the village has attracted one of this month’s featured artists, master printmaker R. Keith Rendall, to town.  Rendell is a professional printmaker and artist with over 30 years of experience. He is co-founder and president of Midcoast Printmakers Inc., a non-profit organization, and is an expert on the history of etching and woodcut printmaking in the Renaissance.   

Also featured during this month’s Wiscasset Art Walk is the work of local artist Tom Block.  Block is well-known in the community, but probably best-known for illustrating Togus the Cat, a children’s story about the adventures of a Maine coon cat. 

Wiscasset Art Walk, held on last Thursdays, is coming up again, Thursday, July 25th, and promises to be a summer evening chock-full of art appreciation, music (both in and out of doors), good food to eat, great fellowship and general conviviality in Maine's prettiest village! 

Features of the July 25th Wiscasset Art Walk include an oil painting demonstration, twig artist Susy Perrine displaying her twig jewelry, special evening tours of the historic Nickels-Sortwell House, and family-friendly horse and wagon rides through the village by Woodfield Farm Wagon Rides.  

Wiscasset will have a fun and festival-like atmosphere during its summer Art Walks with street performers and plein air painters at work as well.  Don’t be surprised if you hear lovely harp music or a brass band coming from unexpected places. Wiscasset Art Walk will celebrate art in its many diverse forms, both in and out of doors.
