NORWAY — The Western Maine Art Group invites any and all Western Maine artists and artisans to participate in a holiday art gift promotion to be held at the Lajos Matolcsy Arts Center from the end of October through the middle of December.

Art work submitted for consignment must be original design and creation of the submitting artist. Offset and glicée prints will be accepted.

It is not a juried show and pieces will be accepted on the basis of space permitting. Pieces may be rejected on the basis of space limitations at the discretion of the Western Maine Art Group.
