Pop-Up Art Show Influenced By The Charm Of The East End’s Accabonac Creek

On Saturday, October 31st and Sunday, November 1st, the Accabonac Protection Committee (APC) will present the third annual Images of Accabonac, which will include a special viewing of works by renowned local artist Ralph Carpentier.

“This will be our third show and we look forward to again providing artists an opportunity to share their response to the inspiration of Accabonac and a chance for the public to appreciate both the art and the special beauty that inspires it,” shared Jorie Latham, chair of Images of Accabonac.

Taking place at Ashawagh Hall, Images of Accabonac is curated by Pamela Williams, who along with works by Carpentier, also handpicked a selection of pieces from artists that display their visions of beauty inspired by Accabonac Creek.

An opening reception will take place on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. All artwork will be for sale and a portion of the proceeds will benefit APC. Images of Accabonac will be on display from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
