Bellepoque, a cultural show and events, is scheduled for Thursday through Wednesday, May 26-June 1, at the All Roads Hub community center at 4 Nulty St., in Bridgton.

The show is organized and curated by Lights Out Gallery in collaboration with the Bridgton Arts and Culture Committee, All Roads Hub Community Center, and Factor Fine Art, according to a news release from the gallery.

An opening event is set for 4-8 p.m. May 26. The show and all events will be open to the public at no cost and will operate among other events in Bridgton over Memorial Day weekend.

The hours are 11 a.m.-7 p.m. May 27, 11 a.m-8 p.m. May 28, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. May 29, and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. May 30, 31 and June 1.

The Bellepoque show will feature nine artists from Maine, all at different stages in their careers, including Gabriel Frey, a 13th generation Wabanaki basket maker; Pamala Moulton, a large scale fiber artist; Ian Factor, a figurative painter; and Jocelyn Lee, a photographer and founder of Speedwell Projects.

A public talk involving artists, historians, and members of Northstar Youth will discuss the themes of the show and how they relate to the current moment. The show asks artists and viewers to use the historical period at the end of the 1800s as a jumping off-point to investigate the themes of escapism, waste, constructed realities, and the relationship between opulence and ugliness.
