EAC Open Sessions: Art History & Theory—Close Looking Sessions

Art lovers are invited to join in for Art History and Theory: Close Looking Sessions, to be held every other Wednesday, beginning June 14, from 6:30-8:30 pm. At each session, participants will evaluate one painting as a group. Lively discussion of the artwork will include visual analysis, historical contextualization, and aesthetic impressions. Attendees are invited to suggest works for consideration for future sessions. Light refreshments will be provided.

Close Looking Sessions are part of a new group of EAC programs, called Open Sessions, designed to engage community members with casual, drop-in offerings for all interests. The new programming has been funded by a Maine Community Foundation Community Building Grant, awarded to the Center in May 2023. All of these programs are offered free of charge for attendees age 17 and under; donations ($5/session suggested) are appreciated from adult participants.
