BOOTHBAY REGISTER • July 30, 2021
On First Friday, Aug. 6, from 5-7 p.m., Gleason Fine Art will host a reception and book-signing for the gallery's August show: "Michael Vermette: 50 plus One." This very special show celebrates the 50th anniversary of the creation of Maine's Allagash Wilderness Waterway and plein-air artist Michael Vermette's selection as its inaugural visiting artist. The show's title, "50 plus One," refers to both the number of years the Waterway has existed as a protected park and the number of paintings Vermette committed to painting during his residency. "50 plus One" is also the title of his book on this first-ever Allagash adventure.
