Get tickets now for our first ever concert at Penn Landing in Norway, Maine – Saturday, September 12th, after the Norway Maine Arts Festival!
Set at a former industrial cannery on the banks of Lake Pennesseewassee in Norway, Maine, Penn Landing sits on six acres of waterfront overlooking Ordway Grove, home to Maine’s largest white pines. The concert will take place in the center of a site-specific art installation built inside the space. More details on the full experience are coming soon, but trust us – you’re going to want to be there.
There will be on-site camping available so you can stay over after the show! Flat, grassy 15’x15’ tent sites right on the grounds. Porta-potties on site; no running water or power, so come prepared and bring your own gear. Set up starts at 4pm on the 12th, you must be off premises and cleaned up by 11am on the 13th. Campers also get a $10 breakfast voucher to use at local restaurants Sunday morning! Camping sites are $35 per spot, up to 4 people per site.
Mattie Rose Templeton, a Mainer born and raised in blueberry country, is inspired by the living and natural world that surrounds us all. Through art, she explores our connection to nature, including the undeniable fragility that is found there. And the importance for us to protect it. Art, since the beginning, has been a way to record history through visual storytelling. Mattie Rose attempts to produce art that moves the viewer beyond the piece itself, and into that storytelling place. Using an “old fashioned” ink well, with variously-sized nibs, she is able to add different texture and line. She often uses a limited pallette, because she loves the drama that contrast brings. While the subject matter of her work is based in realism, there is a conceptual quality added through geometric shapes and patterns, and a certain magic that will keep the viewer asking “is this real?”
Mattie is one of 11 artists joining us in Norway this summer for our Studio Incubator program. Made possible by support from the Maine Arts Commission, the Onion Foundation, and donations from folks like you!
