Time: 5PM-9PM
Location: L/A Arts Gallery, 221 Lisbon Street
Opening in conjunction with Art Walk Lewiston Auburn and Diner en Blanc
“I enjoy painting lavishing landscapes with a fantasy twist… I love to use bright, vivid colors to show the true beauty that nature holds.”– Richard Seger
Local Maine artist Richard Seger hesitates when asked what to call his collection. “I’ve never done anything like this before,” he admits. After a moment he settles on a word: debut. A beginning. A culmination of his lifetime passion for art and nature that began with a childhood love of doodling and has since been advanced through studies in graphic arts and illustration at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. For Seger, his art is very much connected to his sense of personal well being, “I am my best when I am in my art room working…I like to challenge myself.”July Art Walk Lewiston Auburn & Diner en Blanc
You are cordially invited to July Art Walk Lewiston Auburn and Diner en Blanc…
25 years ago, the first Diner en Blanc took place in Paris, setting a legacy that has reached worldwide acclaim. The event; an elegant outdoor dinner picnic where attendees dressed to impress in white. On Friday July 26th from 5-9 PM Diner en Blanc returns to Lewiston-with a twist- our Diner en Blanc is accompanied by an Art Walk that stretches down Lisbon Street! So, pack a picnic basket, a blanket, and dress in white! We’ll be waiting at Callahan Hall with flash performances by the Bates Dance Festival at 6 PM and 7 PM. If you forget your basket- don’t worry, Forage Market will be selling baskets with all your picnic favorites, pre-order one at Forage Market today (view the mouthwatering menu here)! Local artists will be displayed at local businesses and galleries all along Lisbon Street. We’ll top the night off with a raffle of amazing cakes from the Cake as Art Exhibit in Cooney Gallery (219 Lisbon Street). July Art Walk is a rain or shine event, our rain space for the picnic and dance performances is Callahan Hall (located in the Lewiston Public Library). Art Walk 2013 is brought to you by Austin Associates.
