KINGFIELD — The Stadler Gallery will open its summer season with an exhibition of work by Jaine Jacobs along with a show of works by gallery artists.

Jacobs calls her show “Jaine in Maine,” referring to her recent move from the suburbs of New York City to Rangeley, which, she said, has renewed her with energy and inspiration.

With a background in ceramics exclusively, Jacobs shifted her use of clay from the three-dimensional form of her vessels to a two-dimensional substrate, which she subsequently proceeded to use instead of canvas. Works in mixed media followed suit.

Ten years ago, Ulrike Stadler, an artist herself, decided to use her New England barn not only as studio space, but as a gallery for contemporary art. She mounted a large sign above the barn door, and invited artists from across the United States and as far away as Paris, France.

Her objective was to bring art to a small town in the western mountains of Maine and to give artists a place to show a broad range of artwork. Exhibitions range from eclectic sculpture to abstract illustrations and realistic landscapes.

A reception will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 2.

Exhibitions will be on view daily from noon to 4 p.m. and by appointment from June 25 to July 15. For more information, visit www.stadlergallery.com.
